ATN120hE Style Hyper-elliptical Stylus for Audio Technica's AT120E etc
Important:
The legacy OEM Genuine ATN120E by audio-technica is obsolete.
It was specified in legacy AT literature as having a bonded [man-made diamond] 0.4 x 0.7 tip but AT later upgraded the offering to a sharper 0.3 x 0.7 nude/natural diamond tip under the same part#.
See image above showing early and late literature depicting the design improvement from bonded to nude tip.
in any case, the flip guard had "AT120E" printed on it to highlight its most common use specifically in the AT120E cartridge, but may have been found in similar pickups.
This offering is for a bonded [man-made diamond] hyper elliptical bonded tip aftermarket ATN120hE
AT never offered a bonded hyper elliptical tip for this application. Consider this offering for excellent, audiophile playback sound quality at a reasonable price.
Each ATN120hE is individually finished, tuned, inspected & packed in USA of imported components.
OEM Replacement notes:
The late revision nude ATN120E is replaced by the current productionVMN530EN (same orange color) at $139.
The early version bonded ATN120E is now available as the current production VMN520EB (navy blue color) at $79.
ATN120E was re-released under this new numbering system so everything makes more sense in the current line-up.
