Needle sounds great, and the belt seems like good quality! Not entirely experienced enough to know much of a difference, but these seem like quality pieces. Thanks!

Just what I needed to refreshen a used LP60USB I thrifted. The upgraded stylus gives the turntable much more detailed timbre and fuller soundscape.

Huge difference immediately in sound quality and depth

Belt gives less wobble. Still there but tighter. Stylus after breaking in does in fact has a slight enhancement. Worth it to me. Not placebo effect. Don't expect the world or you will be disappointed.

Truly made an immediate, noticeable difference. More defined bass, crisper highs, far less sibilance than the stock stylus. Records that would reliably produce bad sibilance with the stock needle sound flawless now, Inca Roads on Zappa's One Size Fits All is a good example. I also have a fairly beat up copy of "the hot cut" of Led Zeppelin II, and this stylus played it with far less surface noise than the stock needle. In addition, due to the higher volume of this particular record, the bass sounded a bit muddy with the stock needle. The CFN3600 produces just as much bass volume, but it is better defined, sounds more natural, and is less overpowering. I added a rubber mat at the same time, and now the AT-LP60X sounds like a much higher-end TT.

High quality cartridge and band and quick delivery.

Easy installation. I haven’t had time to sit and hear the difference this kit and better analog cables made, but I’m sure I’ll be surprised.
Ellie - 01/02/2023
Everything sounded so much fuller. Notes had more weight behind them and vocals have never been this clear.

It was the only place I could find an upgrade for my Audio Technica LP-60X.

I don't have the money to upgrade to a new turntable, so instead I wanted to upgrade my current turntable.

Delivery time was perfectly acceptable and the upgrade was worth it.

It was nice to upgrade what I thought was a stock turntable to a more reliable and better-sounding Audio Technica product.

The body/low-end is a bit tighter, and it adds a little bit more clarity. I definitely recommend this upgrade if you want to get a little bit more out of your AT-LP60 models.

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.
