For a conical stylus this is a scrappy little cart. Nice sound maybe adjust your anti skate up a tad to offset the conical stylus shape. But nice highs and nice mids. I thought this would suck but it’s a nice little cart for a nice price.

Comprei essa cápsula para testar e ter como opção a mais. Cápsula oferece clareza nos médios e agudos, com graves definidos, ótima separação de canais e sensação de palco.

So far I have been very impressed with this cartridge.Easy to install, sounds good for a budget cartridge.I like them better than AT3600.Do not get me wrong, no comparison to higher end carts.

Well this MADE IN CHINA JUNK may appear to be a higher end pickup but that is where the accolades end although it does sport threaded mounting holes. No more nice things to say at this point!!! It barely tracks at 2.7 grams and the output is too low for a MM preamp and too high for an MC one. Sound quality is mom-exist. It mistracks and distorts MIDS badly, Do yourself a favor and spend a little more and get an A-T VM95C or Ortofon OMEGA but stay away from this one!!! HAPPY LISTENING...GOD BLESS!!!...PJSII

This cartridge, stylus is loud and sounds decent! It is considerably noisy while the tonearm is on the cradle/rest. But you cannot notice it once it's on the vinyl. My Ortofon Pro S is quiet to the pint there's actually zero noise, but it's much quieter than this cartridge. Overall I'll choose the quieter cartridge although the loudness of the cartridge is appealing! Overall I'd say it's worth it for a quick flip if you need to add a cartridge to a turntable before you sell it. Good luck!

I honestly bought this to find out what basically the cheapest diamond cart on Amazon would sound like. I figured I'd use it for a test cart for turntables I'm working on. Well I was shocked to find that it sounds pretty awesome! It has a great bottom end and stays articulate through the range, all the way up to a detailed, but not harsh treble. My system isn't a reference system by any means, but Aja sounded crystal clear, and it was easy to pick out instruments. Subtle bass drum kicks on Heavy Weather get muffled and sound like record pops with the AT entry-level cart I bought at the same time. They sound like they're meant to be there with this guy. Would a Red or Blue cart sound better? Maybe. But this one is making me happy, and it's not even broken in yet. And my kids are learning how to play and handle records, but if they accidentally mishandled the tonearm and damage the cart, I'm not going to get sick to my stomach. It'll be a lot easier to chalk it up to a learning experience.

I may not be a true audiophile, but I do make custom turntables and refurbish vintage units. Was using the AT 3600 for a solid replacement but got this today, and I'm very impressed. It's sounds awesome for the money. That's all you need to know for real. Buy it!

Cart looks great and expensive in person. Need to order some headshells now and will comeback and edit for a review.Well I'm impressed! For the price I really like it. It's bright but not overly so. Yes It's better than the AT3600, which is a good starter cartridge. Sounds clean and no noise. Bass is really good and not over done. Of course with more hours it will be better, but I'm happy so far. Tracks at 2.5-3. It's a beauty in person.

The price is low, but so is the quality. The stylus compliance is below that is most ceramic cartridges. Overall I kept them but I'll never buy these again.
