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 wondering about balance issues and was directed to purchase a new needle which fixed the issue!

I have been very happy with this cart and stylus. I may upgrade in the future but can't be beat for the price

First of all, I have yet to be disappointed by LP Gear. Everything is always smooth as eggs, from transaction to dispatch to arrival. The Vessel stylus is really well made and will serve you well provided you keep it clean . Tracking is on point and yields great sonic detail. For the money, I think you'd be hard- pressed to find better quality. Thanks!

This is a huge improvement over the AT95e--for basically the same price. I think it might be the best budget cartridge and stylus out there

My favorite place to shop Hi-Fi gear online--will come back for my next upgrade. Super knowledgeable staff, great pricing and service.

This virtually unknown cart/stylus is up there in the lower end of the big boys. Easily competitive with the Ortofon Red and perhaps the Blue. Highly recommended.

LP gear has a huge selection of quality turntable products at reasonable prices. I always find what I need (or want) at LP Gear. Shipment is very fast and products are well packed. Their web site is intuitive and a pleasure to use.

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.
