This shibata tipped stylus is finished in USA of imported components.  It is designed to be similar the now obsolete Stereohedron D6800EEE Stanton Stylus which is black in color and simply labeled "Stanton" vertically and EEE horizontally on the side.  The Stereohedron cut Stanton diamonds had four facets whereas this shibata cut has two.  This allows us to supply a great solution at a substantial savings when compared to a natural tip with four facets which would cost 2-3 times more.

This shibata tipped needle supplied by BLISS will transform any Stanton 681 series cartridge with a lesser-equipped stylus into a high end playback solution capable of exceptionally faithful, clear and true sound reproduction.  

Shibata needles have excellent contact with the record groove, better than conical, elliptical and hyperelliptical tips and so were the first special cut designed for quadraphonic (4-channel) record playback, be it of the discrete (CD-4) or matrix (SQ) variety. In addition to this quality shibata stylus, the following components of a complete quad system must all be present and in working order:

A Cartridge sold originally as being capable of 4-channel playback.

A Record originally pressed with decodable information for channels 3 and 4 that is still in good condition. A record that is too worn will lose it's ability to provide the high carrier frequency needed for the amp to decode the rear channels even though you may still be able to hear the two primary left and right channels just fine. The record jacket will clearly advertise (brag) about this capability if it is present.

A receiver or amplifier with the needed circuitry which is still functional. Capacitors and edge-connector connections often fail in these circuits leaving them no longer capable of decoding the rear channels 3 and 4.

and of course 4 speakers hooked up correctly and situated in the 4 corners of a standard listening room.

NOTE: Because this needle is designed for use specifically with STANTON cartridges, it can be found in numerous brands of turntables. In some cases the cartridges for this needle may be original equipment supplied with a new turntable, but was also likely to have been selected at time of sale to complete a turntable sold without a cartridge or later as an upgrade to the original cartridge supplied by the turntable manufacturer. This needle should be matched primarily to the STANTON cartridge type not necessarily the turntable.
