Pickering TLZ-7500S
The Pickering TLZ-7500S belongs to the audiophile line with a Line Contact stylus. Its 0.33 mV output sits at MC cartridge levels, so plenty of spare gain is required. The light 0.75 to 1.5 g tracking force with 1.25 g nominal is gentle on records. The replaceable stylus is the D7500S, and Phono Culture lists one compatible replacement.

Additional Info
The Pickering TLZ-7500S delivers a smooth, forgiving character with natural, relaxed vocals and tightly controlled dynamics, easy on brighter systems. Its Stereohedron II Line Contact profile traces the groove precisely, supporting good detail retrieval and quiet backgrounds without harshness. Despite the MM design, output sits at MC level, so an MC input or headamp is required. The D7500S stylus is replaceable and shared across the XLZ and 7500S family.
