Where music starts. ™

Since 1995, LP GEAR® has been serving the record-playing community via the Internet. Ever since that time we have been enhancing the musical enjoyment of customers in North America and in many parts of Asia, Australia, and the European Community who otherwise would have been unable to enjoy music through their turntables. After all, how can one play a record via a belt-drive turntable without a working belt. We're being facetious but we do have a point don't we.

LP Gear continues its specialization on turntable belts—a unique service in that we have the most extensive variety of correct belts for turntables in the known planet. Since then, we've expanded our selection of cartridges, styli and needles. Our success in this area has transformed us into one of the planet's leading providers of replacement styli for magnetic cartridges. Consistent with our pursuit of perfect quality and superiority, we have become an OEM of world class cartridges and replacement styli. To serve the audio community even further, we are expanding our music reproduction portfolio to include select brands of audio electronics, tubes and accessories.

We enjoy music and are committed to perfecting your music listening experience. We take every component to its highest level of significance and strive for perfection. Within a music system, each part in the chain plays a role of highest significance.

LP Gear's history is intertwined with the resurgence of vinyl record playing and for this and other compelling reasons, we surmise: This is  where music starts. ™

It’s nice to have an option for this cartridge and it sounds good .

I’m still listening to this and it’s not like the original stylus but that doesn’t mean it’s not good. I need to give it some break-in time to know for sure.

Why LP Gear?

I’ve heard a lot of audio folks say they’re happy with the service and products .

Did not work, no volume unless speakers where cranked. Put the old stylus on, and everything was back to normal. Maybe I just got a dud?

Visually the Stanton stylus looks like a quality product and gets great reviews. But since had not yet mounted to a turntable I can't comment on the it's sound quality. As such I have only given a 4 star rating.

Why LP Gear?

Good quality products and great selection of replacement styluses.

Product Choice

Vivid Line stylus replacements for my Stanton 681 EEE-S and Pickering XSV-3000 cartridges.

This new stylus worked perfectly! The sound from my Technics SL-Q2 has never been better. I would recommend this replacement part to restore your turntable to better than new performance.

It was exactly what I needed at a fair price.

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.
