  Thank you my friend!!! I had previously mistaken the carbon as a modified AT cart which did not have the Carbon cantilever. &nbsp;Thanks for pointing my mistake out👋😄.<br>Hahaha...now Rega P1 users can all replace their styli with the AT3600L replacement styli!!!<br>Job very well done Brother!<br>May you continue to have a joyous vinyl analogue journey with lots of friends🎶🎵🎶🎶!!!<br>Warmest Regards,<br>~ ian from Singapore🇸🇬😄🌞

  The magnifying box would be great for an engagement ring .....if you were on a small budget

  Michael Fremer is cringing somewhere right now. 😂 Thank you for doing this to him. A great no BS comparison 👍

  wow! I can&apos;t thank you enough for the time and energy you put into this extensive testing of both cartridges. Science WINS over marketing.<br>You WIN the Internet today!<br>You would think high end turntable companies like Thorens and Rega would be selling their expensive turntables with $500 carts, but I guess if a $12 cart has their name on it, people will trust what they say.<br>The fact they are using these conical sylus cartridges and everyone thinks they sound better than the Ortofons than, there is something here to consider.<br>Thank you, I&apos;m taking delivery this week of my new Fluance RT81 turntable with the AT95E installed, and will pick one of these carts up to try.<br>My present Pioneer PL200 direct drive is starting to misbehave with speed issues, and I have the Shure 97xe installed, but it&apos;s discontinued and to replace the stylus on it goes into getting a 60 month loan.<br>Since I&apos;m retired, fixed income, I&apos;m trying to find a nice cart for the Fluance which will allow me to have the funds to replace the stylus economically.<br>Thank you again for this wonderful YT video.

  This is one of the best and easy to to understand comparisons reviews I’ve seen in a while. Well done VWestlife!

  During the sibilance test, you can clearly see the L &gt;&gt; R imbalance is greater in the Rega. This is a great video.

  I don&apos;t even have a turntable, but very interesting nonetheless!

  I got AT3600L with my turntable about a year ago and I still can&apos;t believe how good it can be for 11 dollars!
