I had had a shipping issues with them many years ago. When Needle Dr. closed there doors, I started using them again. I've had zero issues with them since. The issue I had with them was shipping cost for 10 miles same city. I wanted to pickup the cartridge and not pay $8.95 for shipping. I'd done it before with him but this one time I never got a reply to my email request for pick-up. By the time I started doing business with him again, free shipping for over....... was free, issue solved.
Purchasing from LP Gear
I am considering buying an Audio Technica ART 9 cartridge (not the Art9XI or XA) from LP Gear off the internet. They claim to have ART9 with full USA warranty for $990.00. I have bought a lot of gear off the net, but I am not familiar with LP Gear. If anyone has experience with LP Gear, good or bad, I would very much appreciate learning about it. Thanks in advance.
