I received this very quickly after ordering. After installing, it skipped all over the place. I removed and looked at it with magnifying glass, took a picture and sent an email off to Turntable Needles. Kyle immediately replied that the stylus was bad, and sent me a replacement. After installing, it sounds great and brought my old Empire 108 cart back to life. This is the kind of integrity and service that will keep me coming back!

I was ready to toss this cartridge. I figured something this old wouldn't be able to compete with newer carts. When I saw the price of a new stylus, I figured I'd give it a try. It turned out to be a smart move. The Old Empire has lots of life in it yet. This stylus has brought the old critter back, and it is an amazing unit. Very warm sound, and great tracking on an old 298 with a 98 arm. I hate to think what I would have paid for a complete replacement cartridge.

The stylus worked great, may even order another for a spare. Shipping was handeled in good order and I would recommend this company for similar needs.

This is an exceptionally high quality stylus, and it brought new life to my Empire 108 cartridge. I'm using it on a Garrard AT-6. I track it 3.00 grams, and it is a great match. Sound is detailed, clear, and deep. Highly recommended.
