Please note: This is an aftermarket BLISS needle, best quality available, finished in USA of int'l components. We proudly present this exclusive BlissPro offering not found elsewhere. While all styli are delicate, you can now upgrade numerous legacy AT cartridges with the toughest audiophile stylus in the world. The Shibata-Tough series has the strongest generator suspension and cantilever system we've ever seen in an audiophile level offering.  This makes it much more forgiving to handling mishaps than a typical aluminum alloy cantilever system. The suspension dampener is made of silicone rubber for smooth consistent operation that will provide years of tonal truth without environmental degradation.   The cantilever is carbon fiber from end to end for extreme toughness that won't bend like aluminum alloy and works even internally to stop dangerous harmonics from traveling back down the cantilever that potentially cause premature record and diamond wear in lesser systems.
