Huge improvement over ATN-3600 stylus in AT-LP 60 turntable!
Sounds great! Audio technica should use these instead of their own styluses on their AT-LP 60 turntable, especially considering Audio Technica does not have an OEM upgrade stylus for the ATN3600. (It's certainly nice that this upgrade stylus is less money than than I would pay for a vastly inferior replacement stylus from Audio Technica.)Read full review...

Phansteihl elliptical for AT3600L (UPDATE)
Update: After using this stylus more extensively, I have found several issues worth mentioning. It seems to have tracking problems with some records. I tried adjusting anti-skate and tracking weight. It didn't solve the issue. It actually performs similar to a 78 rpm stylus. Skipping in certain spots. Could it have been mis-packaged? I noticed the cantilever is noticeably longer than stock stylus. Possibly causing instability? Anyway at this time, I could not recommend this stylus.
Following is my original review posted before I noticed the problems:
Recently purchased this elliptical upgrade for my AT3600L. It seems to work quite well with improved detail and high end treble. Tracks well at about 2 grams. I've heard these might have problems with a heavy tracking turntable like the basic Audio Technica lp60 sold at Wal-Mart and online. They work better with a lighter tracking adjustable turntable. Would recommend for a good upgrade.Read full review...

adequate elliptical for ATN3600 cart, nothing amazing.
very reasonably priced, was hoping it would be kind of a budget upgrade to the good conical stylus that comes on the AT3600 cartridge... but doesn't seem as well balanced sonically as the conical, not bad though but noticeably lighter in the low end. could be a good fit for someone, just wasn't for me. it's a bargain backup stylus, though... not really sure if there's any other elliptical that works with the 3600, certainly none in that price range.Read full review...

conical stylus upgrade
This elliptical stylus was an upgrade for a cn5625al cartridge. Installed easily and sounded fine. However, little improvement in fidelity was heard over the conical stylus. Still a good replacement stylus.Read full review...

Elliptical needle stylus upgrade
This is likely the most effective AND cheapest upgrade to your record listening experience that can be made. Superior clarity, definition, and harmonics. Not sure about durability and I don't like the color. Definitely worth the cost though...and then some.Read full review...

Don’t waste your money
Stylus rode low on my LP-60 resulting in the left channel cutting out and horrendous audio. The older stylus sounded better and was built more professionally. Poorly built and presumably not safe for records, don’t waste your time. Read full review...

Good little stylus.
When you install it you have to angle it in. Instructions weren't clear about that and I almost decided it didn't fit. Glad I figured it out

Fits and works perfectly
The new needle installed easily and worked very well. I originally broke the original needle when moving my stereo equipment. This one was an upgrade to the original and it performs superb. I have a Nakamichi amplifier attached to my Sony record player.Read full review...
