Works beautifully with my AT-LP120-USB

Years ago I bought my wife a record player for her birthday. As the years went on the records would skip and things didn't sound so great. So it turns out we needed to replace the needle. I ordered this and it came quickly in the mail, I was excited to try it out. The installation process was simple (just follow the included manual!) and in no time we were listening to records skip-free once again. We have an Audio-Technica player, model AT-LP120-USB, and this works perfectly with it.

Got AT-LP60? This is what you’ll need

This is what you need if you have the AT-LP60 TT. Be sure you get one that is white with AT logo on it. If it’s yellow and no logo, you got a generic stylus that will ruin your LPs. First one I was sent by amazon marketplace seller was the “fake” yellow. I ordered directly from amazon and got the real thing. Fairly easy to install, but be careful if you’re not experienced. Produces good sound. Fair amount of rumble that is helped by reducing bass setting on your receiver. Keep an extra on hand.....they are delicate and are only rated for 300-500 hours.

Sony PS-LX300USB

Works beautifully as a replacement in my Sony PS-LX300USB turntable.

Awesome sound for the budget minded audiophile

I has an old At-95E cartilage from a second hand turntable I got and the stylus was bad. At the time, I purchased a Grado Black to replace the cartilage but I never throw away the old AT95E and replaced the cartilage with a knock off (3rd party and cheap) but good enough replacement stylus. I also have another turntable which I mated it with an Ortofon OM. After I upgraded the OM stylus to OM 20, which was an expensive endeavour, the OM did performed as it should, excellent in sound quality and details. I compared it with the AT95E with a cheap 3rd party cartilage and sure enough, the sound quality shows a big gap. But then I started thinking I have to give the AT95E a fair chance and I should compare it with an OEM replacement stylus. So I cough up a few more bucks and purchase this stylus replacement. I put it head to head for the comparison, the OM still sounds better with more details but the AT95E wasn’t a sloucher either. I can see definitely why the AT-95E were the main stay for many turntables. Fact is, a $35 stylus vs a $200 stylus and it still holds its own, so to say, is well worth the praise. In my opinion, it can easily goes head to head with OM10, maybe not as detailed as the OM 20 or the Shure M97xe but the sound quality wasn’t that far behind. For the money, it is of excellent value!!!

Great Sounding Stylus!

This is a great sounding stylus. I recently purchased a new Audio Technica AT-LP60 Turntable, and while the stock stylus sounded good, this replacement stylus definitely sounds great. It is definitely an upgrade over the stylus that comes with the turntable. This stylus really brings out the mids, and highs, in music, while firming up the low end. The bass seemed to be muddy on some tracks, when using the original stylus, and the vocals were a bit muffled at times. You will really notice a huge improvement, at all frequencies, with this stylus. Stylus replacement on the Audio Technica AT-LP60 is really easy. Just hold the tone arm cartridge with one hand, while pulling the stylus housing forward, and down, at the same time, with the other hand. The stylus housing will come right out of the cartridge holder. When installing the new stylus, just do the opposite motion. There is a little hook, on the back of the stylus housing that latches on the cartridge. Push the stylus housing up on an angle, until the hook catches on the cartridge, and then push the stylus housing up, and in, at the same time. The housing will click right into place. There should be no gap at all, between the top of the stylus housing, and the bottom of the tone arm head, when the stylus is seated correctly. With a little practice, this entire stylus replacement process should take like 30 seconds, or less. I purchased this stylus with the turntable, just so I could do a sound comparison, and it is definitely worth the extra few dollars to upgrade the stylus. I also received a genuine Audio Technica Stylus (like the one pictured), and not some knock-off, as others have stated. I would highly recommend purchasing this stylus, when purchasing the Audio Technica AT-LP60 turntable. It is a very cheap, and worthwhile upgrade.

It's a replacement.

Ordered on the weekend and got it yesterday. It is not an upgrade to the stylus that came with the turntable. Just a replacement. It works as expected. Installation was easy, just be sure the new one clicks into place, there should be no gap between the top of the stylus and the headshell. This is a great value at around 15 bucks! Other s are saying they got a yellow stylus with no AT logos, the one I got was genuine audio-technica white. It was in stock and shipped from Amazon.

but it'll save your records and your cartridge a lot of unnecessary wear.

Accidentally dropped my old needle on a new record when I forgot to keep it raised, which bent it badly. Once my records started skipping, I knew I had messed up. Ordered this and once I finally figured out how to get it back on the headshell (warning: that's a little tricky to do!) and realigned the tonearm, my records are singing without a problem in sight. $35 may seem expensive, but it'll save your records and your cartridge a lot of unnecessary wear.

Super easy to replace

I can't make a comparison to other brands: I'm not a record player needles expert, I just had to replace it on my TEAC. I was looking for the same model, because I was just happy with it and didn't want to make compatibility mistakes. Extremely easy to replace, took me about 5 seconds. BTW the older one didn't break because it was faulty (I had it for about 3 years): it's because I have a 2 years old son that some times have DJ aspirations...

Replacement for entry level Audio Technica turntable at Target circa 2019

My local Target was being remodeled in the summer of 2019, and they made the turntable half price to get rid of it while they changed out the shelving. This is the replacement needle cartridge for the "Audio-Technica Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable". Phono only, no USB. When it arrived, I did a check for fit and function, and it works exactly like the original needle, I can't hear a difference between it and the stock part. For this reason, I'm giving it a 5- star for accuracy, sound quality and value. It's accurate to the original needle, not that it compares to some more expensive product, or that it will somehow make your $99 (or $50 in my case) turntable sound like a $1500 model.

The ATN95E works as a replacement stylus for the Music Hall Spirit

I searched far and wide across the internet for the replacement stylus for the Music Hall Spirit. The Spirit is the cartridge that comes with the Music Hall MMF 2.3 Turntable. I found plenty of references that the cartridge was manufactured by Audio Technica. But there weren't any specifics that mentioned it if was actually a clone of an existing AT cartridge. I suspected that might be the AT95E, and researched that further. Still no solid evidence that it's the same cartridge, but the pictures of the stylus certainly looked like what I pulled off of the Spirit. My alternatives appeared to be to order the Music Hall Spirit cartridge as a whole for $100, but that seemed silly. I also found a carbon fiber "upgraded" stylus from LP Gear, but couldn't find any reviews of that one. So I took a $35 gamble and ordered the ATN95E... and it paid off. The stylus was incredibly easy to fit onto the cartridge and played perfectly on my first test. Yes, it's green instead of black and doesn't have the "Music Hall Spirit" text on the front of it, but I do not care. I actually kind of like the green accent to my all-black setup. If you're looking for a replacement stylus for the Music Hall Spirit that came with your MMF-2.3 turntable and wondering if the ATN95E will work, the answer is YES.
