The item was a genuine NOS Empire needle and was still sealed in its original package. It was in perfect condition and sounds great in my vintage Empire turntable. Turntable Needles did an excellent job in processing the order quickly and packaging the item so that it arrived safe and sound. Thank you!

The service was excellent. I was able to replace a damaged stylus for a 35 year old Akai turntable, which is now working fine.
