The Audio Technica ATN-3600 series stylus has become one of the most widely used replacement needles on the market, known for its affordability, durability, and solid sound quality. Originally supplied with a wide range of turntables, the ATN-3600 is a spherical stylus designed for reliable everyday playback. Over time, the series evolved into multiple variants, including the standard ATN-3600, the low-compliance ATN-3600L, and the updated ATN-3600LC, each with distinct tracking force requirements.
At DaCapo Audio, we stock a complete selection of compatible replacements, covering both low-compliance models that require a heavier tracking force (2.5 g–4.0 g) and high-compliance models that track more lightly (1.5 g–2.5 g). Whether you’re looking to match your original stylus or explore an upgrade, we have you covered.
For those seeking improved performance, our upgrade options include nude elliptical, hyper elliptical, and Shibata stylus profiles. These deliver better detail retrieval and more precise tracking—ideal if you want to get more out of your AT-3600 cartridge without replacing the entire setup.
