 Excellent needles November 17, 2006

I have been Djing for about 10 years now. I've used all kinds of dj needles, Shure's 44mv, Ortofon DJS, Stantons Groovemasters, and few others, none of these compare in sound quality to the Audio technica ATP-2XN. The vocal are clear and crisp, the highs are precise and the lows are not muddy or boomy at high levels at all. These needles come highly recommended for anyone that just listens to music for quality and for any DJ that wants durability and sound quality.
 Cheap, tight, and low distortion, but does it track at 5 stars? July 22, 2006

For the price of a single Ortofon Nightclub E replacement styli, this setup contains an entire cartridge and one extra needle. It is not as refined and transparent as the Ortofon, neither does it have the bloom in the low end. The upper mids are also quite pronounced and lacking in that liquid quality. It is better at suppressing pops & ticks, even more than the spherical diamond on the WL. The 2xN does not track as well as the 680HP, WL, or NCE. The turntables must be totally isolated from vibration or bounce. Its compliance is lower, so it needs higher mass on the tonearm than does the ELII. This may be the cause of the tracking problem on my arms. The cart body is slightly better shielded than the Grado DJ200i, but is not as immune to EMI as the 680, WL, or NCE. So some power supplies, such as those on CD players, may introduce hum if too close. Contact hum, which occurs when the needle simply touches the record, completely went away with record motion. As on the Whitelabels, the ATP was also often balanced slightly to the right. If you want more bloom in the low end, more transparency, and don't mind the price, then the NCE is worth purchasing. If you want more prominent upper mids, a cleaner sibilant range, or want to spend more money on records, the ATP-2xN is hard to beat if you can get it to track well. If you don't want bloom to the bass, but want tight loud bass, neutral mids, tame highs, excellent tracking, and can sacrifice some resolution, then the 680HP cart still fits the bill nicely. Where does the Shure Whitelabel fit in? Fairly neutral sound, resolution & transparency, good tracking, reasonable replacement styli cost, so-so pop rejection, and slightly less distortion rejection places it somewhere smack dab in the middle of all the other carts.
A Perfectly Matched Set.. April 29, 2005

This cartride arrived as Original Equipment with the Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Professional Direct-Drive Turntable from Amazon. I purchased an additional cartridge due to past experiences with reductions in sound quality over time. The recommended Tracking Force of 3-5 grams appeared to be for those who DJ. My preference at 1.5 grams continues to provide accurate tracing of groove modulations. The .4 x .7-mil elliptical tip does provide outstanding performance without the extra mass improving the tracking ability of the stylus assembly, and extends frequency response. Essentially, it is tough as nails, and yet provides a well-balance feminine touch on the vinyl.
