About this CompanyWhere 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. ™

I was handed down a 40+ year old record player that needed a little TLC. With the new stylus, cartridge and headshell, it sounds amazing!

This is a great cartridge. It has replaced my Nagaoka MP-110h.

After upgrading my amp (to Peachtree Nova 150), Spotify was sounding better that our stock Fluance RT81 table (using the Nova integrated Phono pre-amp), which was depressing! Bought this and BAM - records are back in the lead audio-wise. Sound is clear and detailed, soundstage is excellent, and as an added surprise records now sound more consistent in terms of volume and quality. Highly recommended!!

For the price of this setup, I was blown away by how good this rig sounds. I bought it to replace a broken Ortofon 2m red and honestly it blows that setup out of the water on every level. Super impressed!!!

Sounds great, easy install, no hassle
Thomas - 03/14/2020
Came fairly quickly. Packed well. Ho-hum sound, but maybe it needs a breakin period. Sounds about the same as AT95E it is meant to replace

Absolutely blown away by this new cartridge. The difference is night and day.
Seth - 11/23/2019
Great little set-up!, pre-mounted is great and gives great clarity! Honesty though gave 4 stars because I didn't think it had so much more sound than my ortofon omega cartridge that it could be said to have "high value" great sound, but there are diminishing returns in this hi-fi world so thats sort of the name of the game in some regards. Cheers

A nice bump up from a less expensive Ortofon, a noticeable improvement. And, super fast shipping...happy I did a deeper dive when searching for a new cartridge. There’s more to life than Amazon!

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.
