The NP/AC pickering has been an industry workhorse standard for decades. Since this cartridge is often found in automatic changer type record players like BSR, KLH and Garrard that play all speeds. We think it's the premier logical choice to make available in kit form. It has the easiest needle ever to swap out, so we are including a D5127 aftermarket equivilant 3mil conical diamond needle provided to us by FineTone needles. That way you will get everything you need to ensure that you can play any speed.In addition to the NP/AC cartridge being built like a tank to withstand anything, it's most well known for its super hi (hot) output. The rating is 10mV. Since most cartridges output around 3-5mV the NP/AC can potentially be used as a 'quick fix' for a noisy entry level preamp, whether it be solid state or tube type.
