Sounds like one costing several hundreds of $ (if set up properly that is)!

I'm not a stylus/cartridge guru so I can't expand on the technical aspects of this particular one. I know it's even a lower level entry in their lineup of cartridges but even if the MP-500 sounds half as good as these, then they most assuredly are worth the almost $1K price tag of them. I've had and used several different cartridges over the years and the MP-110 is just about the best "all around" one I've ever heard. Advice tho..you must, must, must set this up right to get the "all" that this combo is capable of reproducing. Take your time and set all adjustments that are needed and this stylus/cartridge will pleasantly surprise you!Read full review

About 1/2 the cost of a new MP-110

I restored my Nagaoka MP-110 to its original performance for about 1/2 the cost of a new cartridge. The -110 stylus is easy to remove and replace. The cartridge also allows larger styli for older records, such as the NMP-1.0 (1.0 for mono LP's and 45's) and the N-MP 78 (3.0 mil for 78's).Read full review

My favorite cart!!

I really love this cart & stylus!! Sounds better than alot of carts twice the cost! Replacing the stylus strictly as maintenance. Old stylus still sounds great but noticed slight sibelance starting. I try to replace every 9-12 months due to the hours I put on my turntable.Read full review

Great Stylus

Exactly as you would expect from Nagaoka.

A few hours to play it in and it sounds amazing for the price.

Easy to install on the existing cart.

It tracks so well and extracts so much music from the vinyl. It also doesnt pick up as much noise on old vinyl as many stylus in the same price rangeRead full review

Cheap but good needle replacement.

Well detailed sound from this budget replacement stylus makes it best option for those who run the turn table all day long. Performs good both on modern records and pressings from 50s and 60s - which is critical for many collectioners like myself. This cartridge works fine with budget Linn tone arms - Basik and Akito.Read full review

New dunamics

New needle after nearly 30 years with its predecessor. I can’t get over the improvement in definition with this enhanced replacement. My Pioneer deck has never sounded so good. It’s warming to know that these pick ups are still being produced for us vinyl hungry hi-if Folks. All hail Japan!!

Good value - great build and sound quality

Good middle of the road stylus - well built and good sound . Picks up so much more on the same records my old styles seemed to miss.

A newe stylus for great sound

A new Stylus for an absolutely amazing cartridge. Take about 20 hrs or so to breaking the cantilever to appreciate the full sound quality the cartridge is capable of. simple plug and play all is wellRead full review
