Review: Excellent Upgrade for My Technics Turntable - I installed the Audio-Technica AT85EP on my Technics SL-BD24 and the improvement was immediately noticeable. Installation was quick and easy — true plug-and-play with the P-mount design. Sound quality is a clear step up from my original cartridge. Vocals are cleaner, highs are smoother, and there is much better detail overall. I especially noticed reduced distortion toward the inner grooves, which was a pleasant surprise. Tracking is excellent and records sound more balanced and refined. For anyone with a compatible P-mount turntable, this cartridge is a fantastic value and a very worthwhile upgrade. Highly recommended.
Review: Nice cartridge for older turntables. - Nice sounding cartridge for vintage turntables. Works great on my 40 year old Technics turntable. Easy to install.
