Rep Rome was super helpful on guiding me to the right cart/stylus for my TT and how to install it.

Great price for a solid stylus

Install of the new cart was easier than I thought. Thanks to Rome at LP Gear for guidance on install and the info on my TT. It turns out my House of Marley Stir It Up TT has a different stylus than early makes of it. This necessitated swapping to this cart/stylus combo to allow for more compatibility with a wide variety of styluses. So far this cart/stylus sounds great and it's not even broken in yet.

I was looking for a quality stylus for my Pickering XV-15 1800 S and the stylus LP Gear supplies is, to say the least, as good as it's original
3 days ago
Although I still haven't the stylus in my possession, It has arrived Portugal fast enough. Customs clearance done in a easy way, and the item should arrive tomorrow or latest, next tuesday. This is not my first purchase with LP Gear, and that's the reason why I decided to buy here again. About the product in itself, I can only review after assembling and testing it. For sure, I will write my review here, but I trust the quality of LP Gear products.

This fits the cartridge perfect but the sound is questionable. I don't know if the stylus or if there's an issue with the cart or my setup. It looks just like the old one that came out of there.

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.
