Janey Hopwood: The media could not be loaded. So I received this next day delivery via prime. I have an old 1970s Mitsubishi DP-630 turntable which a year ago I bought a Numark CS1 cartridge. I've also had an Ortofon OM5E both budget cartridges under £50. I decided to take a punt on this, it was expensive for me yes but in the world of Hi-Fi equipment you get what you pay for. This turned up in a lovely presentation box, next day as mentioned. I opted for the mounted option with the AT Headshell. I simply unscrewed my old cartridge, screwed this one in, aligned it with a cartridge protractor and set the tracking force. First record I played, Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell. Quite simply I was blown away, hearing things I'd never heard before! Quite simply buy this little cartridge if you are looking for a high end upgrade. You won't be disappointed!

Greg Chick: The other half of the biggest improvement is the Tube Pre Amp, they are a pair in my experience. This made a bigger difference than I even hoped for. But, I did use a scale to weigh the arm, as well as a blank LP tracking disc to equalize the skip force.

KiDG: Really love how this stylus sound. Was previously using the classic Shure M447 cart but I find it tends to sizzle a bit on the highs for some records. But with this XP7 everything seems to sound smoother.

Sounds nicer than the AT-XP5 it's replacing
Cons:
Takes some fiddling in order to get it sounding good
Cost
Not as pretty as the AT-XP5
Other Thoughts:
It took about 2 hours of messing around to get it sounding real good, at first I thought I got a bad one, but I kept adjusting it and it came alive.
I'm sure if I did this sort of thing regularly it wouldn't seem to daunting.
At the end of it all it has a nice sound stage and the music comes alive with greater presence than the AT-XP5.
