Nagaoka MP Series MP-150 & MP-150H Replacement Stylus JN-P150

At $149 this stylus isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s much more affordable than getting it with the MP150 cartridge body and head-shell, which will run you in the mid $400’s. I personally love the warm sound of the MP110. However, I wanted a bit more clarity, so I did in fact fork out $400+ to get the MP150+cartridge+headshell. Soon after I got it, I realized that the output of the MP150 cartridge is slightly lower than that of the MP110 and to my ears that slight difference was noticeable. I also had lots of distortion despite correct setup of the turntable. So, I returned that combo and decided to just get the MP150 stylus and continue using the MP110 cartridge. They are completely compatible and to my ears this is the best of the both worlds (clarity and detail of MP150 + warm soothing sound of MP110). I’ve read that this doesn’t deliver the full potential of the MP150 since the cartridge is that of the 110. But after comparing both, I prefer this setup over the MP150 stylus & cartridge body. Not only it sounds better, it also saves you lots of $$$. Personally, if you have the MP110 and you like it, upgrading the stylus alone will make a major improvement in sound quality without the need to change the cartridge body!

My Fluance turntable originally came with the Nagaoka MP-110, which is already a solid cartridge. But upgrading to the MP-150 took things to another level.The sound is smooth, warm, and very detailed without ever feeling harsh. It handles vocals beautifully and brings out a lot of nuance in the music.Tracking is solid, and overall it just makes listening more enjoyable across all genres. Definitely a great choice if you’re looking to step up your cartridge game.

The suspension collapsed on the 150 and had to find a replacement for it as i very much enjoyed the sound. Found this one here, nice price and quick shipping and voila! I am back with good sounding tunes!

I really forgot how great this sounds! My stylus was so worn. It wasn’t sounding its best to say the least. I finally had to get a replacement. After over 60+ hours of listening, I’m hearing a more open soundstage, bass opened up quite a bit, better separation. I’m overall very pleased.

Fits and works, so far so good

The replacement stylus was perfect. Very satisfied.

カートリッジのスタイラス（針）は接合針と無垢針では全く音質の次元が異なります。この交換針は更に楕円針なので音質が非常に優秀。この価格は本当にお買い得！

Sound quality is far superior than other cartridges in it's class, but the stylus just doesn't seem to last very long before going bad - a disappointment for the price!
