I hope I can choose UPS or DHL to ship my ordering. Because I can't track my order in my country when using USPS. ( I live in Taiwan(ROC) )

This is the most expensive stylus that I have ever bought and I am pretty happy so far. It seems to clean up my scratchy records and make all of my records sound better. Heck of an upgrade for my $5.00 cartridge.

The AT-3600L is well known as an excellent value in a downright dirt cheap cartridge. The addition of the ATN3600DLXVL vivid line takes that performance up a couple more notches. Neutral tonal balance, and very good detail with minimal emphasis of recorded sibilants. Good sound stage and dynamics. Overall a great bang for the buck that sets the standard for audiophile level performance at a music lover's price.

Found a link in a vinyl forum and was directed to LP Gear. Quick and easy ordering and was shipped the same day!

So far so good. I'm not past the break in stage but this stylus sounds nice out of the box.
B.U. - 04/26/2020
I installed this on a cheap AT3600L cartridge that I bought on eBay several months ago, hoping to see what it could do with a nice stylus. Needless to say I was floored with how good this stylus is, it brings out a ton of detail and inner groove distortion is practically gone! It even outperforms my Ortofon 2M Blue which costs more than twice the price. An excellent value!

I’m a noob with vinyl. That said, I do know what I like... but can’t believe what I’ve been missing in our world of digital itunes audio... I bought a Rega Planar 1 to get started. Quickly replaced the subplatter (wasn’t true), and added the glass platter from the Rega 3. All of this made audible changes to my ears. I was researching carts and a few of the highly recommended ones would require a VTA change to be optimal.... instead I replaced the stylus... Wow!. Unreal difference. Basically I was listening to a cone shape.. and it suddenly opened up to a half circle. Volume was litterally doubled.. sound more open and detailed. Just unreal. Can’t wait to live with all of this a bit more.. and then see what the next level is like... I do have a good speakers (b&w), and am using the Cambridge Audio Solo MM preamp. NAD integrated amp.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
