The Crosley CR-66 CR 66 CR66 turntable was fitted with a stylus which features a 3.0 mil polished diamond for long playing life and correct tracing of 78 RPM wide grooves. A photo of the stylus replacement is supplied above. The color of the stylus varies. Please verify and use this as a guide only since the cartridge and stylus may have been changed through the years.

To maintain the playback fidelity of your 78 records you really need to use a stylus designed for 78 RPM records. A very common misconception is that you can use a LP stylus for playing 78 records. This is one quick and sure way to damage the 78 record grooves. Moreover, the LP stylus is much narrower than the 78 record groove hence the tip will slide to the bottom of the groove where debris has collected for many decades. This results in extraordinarily high surface noise and inferior reproduction.

If the stylus above differs from what you have, then it means you no longer have the fitted cartridge. For us to assist you further, we need the cartridge brand and model number. This info is usually inscribed on the cartridge and stylus. SLEY CR-66 CR 66 CR66 TURNTABLE

SUPER ANALOGUE STYLUS REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE VN5xMR NEEDLE STYLUS

Out of stock. Please see the JICO SAS (HG - HIGH GRADE) Replacement for the Shure VN5xMR Stylus, or see the recommended upgrades in the Product Options section below.

The JICO SAS stylus replacement for the Shure VN5xMR stylus is used with the Shure V15Vx and V15VxMR phono cartridges. The SAS tips are produced using a natural octahedral single-crystal diamond with the most advanced electronic engineering technology. The cantilever is made of special aluminum alloy tube and boron for extremely efficient transmission of vibrations. Rare earth metals with excellent electromagnetic conductivity compose the magnet for the stylus.

1. Compatible with wider and deeper grooves (Micro Groove).
   The diamond tip consists of a meticulously selected natural single-crystal octahedron. Precision work on the crystal allows for a wide range of grooves. The Super Analogue Stylus can safely be used on recent records which tend to have deeper grooves and with 30-280 micron grooves opposed to the simple conventional 30-80 micron.
2. Ultraprecision thinness and configuration results in supreme sound reproduction.
   The stylus tip is of optimum height and a uniformly ultra-precision finish. The Super Analogue Stylus has a curvature with a smaller radius that was impossible with the Micro Ridge Stylus. As thin as a razor blade and machined with ultraprecision, the stylus tip ensures unsupassed fidelity.
3. Reduced distortion caused by needle abrasion.
   The Super Analogue Stylus tip eliminates lateral and frontal abrasion. Since the curvature radius does not change, the stylus accurately traces without missing any delicate signals. This makes it perfect for reproducing high frequencies and wide dynamic range which require a highly precise radius for tracking the inner record grooves!
4. Polished finish that virtually preserves your record's grooves.
   World-class polishing technique is used on each stylus. This is designed to preserve the details of the record groove structure for a very long time virtually for the life of the vinyl.
5. Extreme quality testing with emphasis on performance.
   Stringent quality inspections and tests using unique and high level technology are performed on all materials and at every level from the manufacture of parts that transmit vibrations to the cartridge (the cantilever, magnet and wire) to the final assembly by skilled artisans.

Please note: The Shure VN5xMR stylus is not designed to be used with the Shure V15 Type V phono cartridges. For the Shure V15 Type V phono cartridges, you need the Shure VN5MR stylus.
