Good product October 24, 2007
I purchased this product for a 25 year old turntable and was quite surprised that Amazon had it in stock. I can now listen to my old records... thank you Amazon!
 Does the job. October 2, 2007
It was easy to install in a 1980's vintage Dual brand turntable. It works, it sounds great. It was not expensive. The Shure cartridge I had before skipped or stuck frequently, and simply didn't work on the left channel, so this Audio Technica cartridge is a huge improvement, just because it works. I use it with a Pyle PP-999 Phono Turntable Pre-Amp and a Griffin Technology iMic USB External Sound Card

It fit to my Technics turntable nicely. It was very easy to put and it plays well.

I've been wanting to transfer special lp's but was unable to
for lack of the specific cartridge for my old turntable.
Thank you for having the connection available so that I
may do so, especially children's lp's for my granddaughter
(Captain Kangaroo, Peter and the Wolf; Dennis Day, Johnny
Appleseed; Danny Kaye, The Little Fiddle). What fun times
my granddaughter and I have to enjoy.
 Sounds fine for cost, but cartridge sometimes rests on record March 9, 2006

This Audio Technica cartridge, like one I've bought before from them, sounds decent on my old Sony turntable. I'm not looking for hi-fi sound, just something to play my old records on my old turntable, so this cartridge suits my purposes.
However, I do have one major gripe: the bottom white part of the cartridge sometimes rests on my records, dragging across them at the same level as the cartridge needle. I've adjusted the tracking of my turntable and the tonearm weight to fix this, but I have to adjust the settings fairly often for different records to make sure the finicky cartridge isn't dragging on my records. The tonearm weight and tracking settings must be very finely adjusted, or else the cartridge rests atop the records, or skips off the edge of the record. I haven't had this problem with cartridges before (except for a similar Audio Technica cartridge bought a few years ago), and am not sure why they designed this one so the cartridge base is almost as low as the needle.
If you don't want your records scratched, I would recommend buying a different cartridge (perhaps one of the longer, ink-pen-shaped cartridges, but these are more expensive). However, if you're simply looking for a decent-sounding cartridge to play old records that are already warped or scratched, and if you have the patience to adjust your tonearm and tracking once in awhile, this cartridge should suit you fine. \
It would be nice, though, if Audio Technica would throw out this design and create a new base cartridge model, because they've had this one for at least several years, and it doesn't work well.
