This was purchased for a vintage setup running a Technics SL-Q300. I have tried a few other carts and this is one of the better ones out there and at a very reasonable price. I suspect it will only get better as it fully burns in. It seems a bit lighter weight than my others so had to up my tracking force a hair, just a heads up for when you install. Great product!

I typically used elliptical or shibata stylii in the past, so was quite surprised at how crisp and clear the sound is from this cartridge. A keeper!

Very pleased with the outcome. I don't think I have the vocabulary to describe my experience listening to what this cartridge does for my records, but the end result is a renewed sense of what a good record should sound like. The channel separation and EQ are perfect for my ears. IN fact, surprisingly better than I was expecting. No regrets at all.

For the price, this cartridge sounds great. The AT3472P has been around a long time and is one of the better cartridges with a conical stylus in its price range. It's a quality made cartridge from a trusted brand with a proven track record. A replacement stylus for this model cartridge presently sells between $16.95 to $26.99 depending on the manufacturer and seller. I highly recommend it for anyone needing a p-mount cartridge.

One of the best P-mount cartridges still on the market. Sounds fantastic compared to the AT3482P, they’re not joking. Hope to buy another when needed.

I bought a 40 yr. NOS turntable that new didn't come with a cartridge. This made that turntable come alive. Great sound( doesn't tried you out listening to it. Nice piece especially for the price.

It is a best buy P mount, fast shipping and solid support. Don't need to say a lot, it's the best lower priced P mount there is.
