Description
ATN95SP LP Gear 78 RPM stylus for AT95, AT3400, AT93 cartridge and more
The ATN95SP LP Tunes 78 RPM stylus features a 3.0 mil polished
diamond tip designed specifically for the correct tracing of
the wide grooves of 78 RPM records. It results in minimal
groove wear and accurate rendition of voice and music.
The stylus is made in Japan by a world-class manufacturer
with a reputation for crafting musically compelling and high-quality replacement styli.
A very common misconception is that you can use a LP
stylus for playing 78 RPM records. This is one quick
and sure way to damage the 78 RPM record grooves. To
maintain the playback fidelity of your 78 records you
really need to use a stylus designed for 78 RPM records,
otherwise, with just a single playing, you could ruin
the fidelity of the record grooves. Moreover, the LP
stylus is much narrower than the 78 RPM record groove
hence the tip will slide to the bottom of the groove
where debris has collected for many decades. This
results in extraordinarily high-surface noise.
