Audio-Technica ATN3600LE Elliptical Replacement and Upgrade Stylus Needle for AT-LP60X, AT-LP60XBT, Sound Burger, AT-SB727

Solid upgrade for the AT-LP60x. Better depth of sound, more clarity and improved performance with older records.

My previous stylus had worn down, so it was time for me to replace. After researching about this particular option, I was glad to see that not only did it fit my AT LP60XBT turntable, but it also was an elliptical stylus. The turntable I have is admittedly somewhat entry-level, but this stylus uplifts my entire collection, as if I were using much more audiophile-level equipment! THIS is the way to upgrade your sound if you don't want to spend hundreds or thousands upgrading your whole setup! The best way to describe it is...it basically took all of my records and made them sound a bit brighter and clearer-mostly in the high range, but even the low range dynamics seem expanded as well. The improvement is much more noticeable on older records (rather than the 180 gram half-speed reissues of whatever) - but even newer ones benefit from a stylus that simply gets deeper in the groove, thereby translating more musical 'information' cut into the vinyl.Even if you've already had an elliptical stylus; if you've noticed of late that several of your records have more surface noise you didn't hear beforeo, inner groove distortion is more obvious, or if the overall sound is more dull than you remember...then it's time for a new stylus! After all, an elliptical stylus really only lasts for about 300 hours of playing time. That's easily accomplished in 18 mo.-2 years, even if you only play a couple days a week! Even replacing your old worn out stylus can make all the difference...

AT LP60X. Replaced the original stylus with this one. Bass response is so much better, and detail increase is very apparent. Definitely worth the upgrade.

Great sound

Not sure what happened to my other needle, but I hand used the table in a while and it started skipping on the album. This took care of it and all is good. Easy install as well.

For the price, it is a huge upgrade from the stock cartridge on the ATLP60XBT. Trickier than I anticipated to install, so be sure not to force it. Can't speak to durability, but these ones aren't meant to last too long, so that should be expected. But did exactly what I expected!

Sound-wise is better than the default cartridge,everything feels fuller and more detailed, the only downside is that it skips every now and then, even on records that are new and didn't skip with my old needle. Kinda annoying, but the sound is so good it's hard to switch back tbh.

Really nice needle and easy to replace the old one. A great replacement for the new Sound Burger
