The AT-3600-L is a very good cartridge. There is some negativity about the cartridge maybe because if it's low price. The high end audiophiles would probably be more positive if it sold for a high price. But high price doesn't always equal better in the confusing world of hi-fi phono cartridges. I'm no expert but I think that most magnetic phono cartridges are similar to some extent. If the cartridge sounds good to you that's all that matters. I couldn't tell any difference in the separation test. My phone only has one built in speaker.
I'm running one of those on a Gemini 2410 I just got because it's what it came with AND just paying $25 to replace the stylus on what it already had was the cheapest route to getting up and running. It honestly sounds great and as good as an LP60 sounds already, this cart sounds even better on a nicer, calibratable turntable that's just feeding the tonearm directly to a receiver's phono-stage.
Would the AT3600L offer a discernible improvement over the stock stylus DSN-82 that comes fitted on a Denon DP-29F turntable? As you are deeply into this cartridge, I thought you might have had the experience of comparing these two cartridges, especially as the AT3600L can replace the stock stylus of the Denon. Thanks for your help.
Uma dúvida, a capsula deve ficar levemente inclinada em relação ao disco? no vídeo me parece que tem que ser mais ou menos isso, a minha fica reta em relação ao disco, mas percebo que dá muito mal da última faixa, talvez deve ser por isso.

Sim, a base do braço tem que estar elevada em relação à cápsula, essa medida se chama Ângulo de Tração Vertical
i just ordered this one on amazon. coming from a sn 28 for a sansui sr 222 belt drive turntable. i thought it would improve sounds but...if i take it from your video i kinda blew it.
Hi ! Have a question ! I´ve just bought a pair of turntables and want to begin to mix. Do you think I can use 2 of this AT cartridge for that. Not for scratching, just mixing with both turntables.
Olá amigo, estou pensando seriamente nesta opção pra meu 3 em 1. Meu cce shc 3001 que originalmente usava cápsula shure n44-7 em algum momento recebeu uma cápsula leson lm 80c, porém as agulhas de diamante de reposição ag80 estão custando o mesmo que a capsula e agulha atn3601. Pra piorar tem um monte de anuncios com agulhas ag80 em rubi... Se for pra investir nessa leson ainda talvez meteria o pé na jaca e comprasse uma night club 9.0, similar as ag90 elípticas.
I'm familiar with the AT3600L. It really is an excellent cartridge, but those sound samples of yours sound awful. They'd put me off buying one if I didn't already know how good it could sound.
I like the 3600 for jukebox use, although both times I've ordered these, they've come with red styli. I think the heavier tracking ones should be either white or grey. Not sure what the red one is.
@@bigwaawaa6444 Not sure I understand. They were sold to me as AT3600L cartridges. I really received AT91R carts? I need the stylus that tracks at 3-5 grams.
Sounds dull and lifeless lacking high end, and any real bass …… not something to brag about ….. tracking at the high force they recommend is not great for preservation of your records ….. it is cheap for a reason !
nope , the tracking force at 3 not damage records and no its not dull and lifeless. All the review of this carthridge are positive. Some audiophile are just blown away of the quality of sound of this stylus .Its comparable to stylus at 300 or 400 dollards

This cartridge can give a more then decent performance when use on a good turntable

wow your recordings are amazing. the stereo separation is really evident !!
Thank you for the samples, I love its channel separation, I just ordered one of these bad boys 😀
It has been reported that they actually just rebrand this cartridge as the Rega Carbon and sell it for several times the Audio-Technica price.
As a new vinyl guy this cartridge really has set a high standard for me in terms of bang for buck.
Love my AT3600L!
Pretty darn good for an budget friend cartridge! Thanks for this video! Gives me an idea what to buy/expect from this cartridge...
Regarding channel separation, the difference between the leson and the audio technica is huge.
Begin the Beguine, nice test track
There are upgrade stylus
Available for the 3600
With hyper elepticol and shibata stylus
Was hoping to here demos with LP gear stylus
Great job with this.
Actually is a fantastic cartridge but it is considered as a Low Compliance
When used on a higher quality table this cartridges can relly
Sing

The DP-29F uses this exact cartridge without the AT badge!!
@@Iainmaclennan70 Thanks for the help. Now I don't need to think about replacing the stock stylus.

What the best phono preamp for this AT-3600-L?
I'm familiar with the AT3600L. It really is an excellent cartridge, but those sound samples of yours sound awful. They'd put me off buying one if I didn't already know how good it could sound.
also knows as at91? ppl say that China era of AT is not as good. any comments?

The red one is the at91r (atn91r for just stylus).

sins when exact reproduction is the same thing as soulless ?
Hi, I have an AT3600l but need a lower tracking force. What are the compatible styluses? Which do you recommend me?
Try LPGear's CFN3600LE
@ tyvm bro!
@ LPGear's CFN3600LE not available in Italy . One more please? Perhaps AT91R ?
@ Yes! 1.5g to 2,5g AT91R
Where can i buy one? Walmart best buy and office depot dont have it
Ebay or Amazon
EBay. Cheaper from China but shipping can take some time. There are us sellers
Yes, there is a difference, but you'll only notice it if you compared it side-by-side. There's no crazy difference at all. Barely noticable!
What’s the tracking force for this cartridge?
3.5 to 5 grams
@@Iainmaclennan70 Then, good. Less wear.
@AndreCampanaMeretika your wrong it's 2.5 - 3.5g look it up !
My at 3600L get so close to the disc, it almost touches it. it's that Normal?
Nope, sounds like too much tracking force
@ I'm using 2,5. Less then facture recommendation
@@Andregg2 Did you measure it with a scale? You can't always trust the markings in the tonearm
You mean low compliance
Compared to some vintage 80s carts, medium compliance.
Does anyone know what the dynamic compliance figure is?
