REPLACEMENT FOR PFANSTIEHL 604-D3 604 D3 604D3 NEEDLE STYLUS (78 RPM STYLUS)
The replacement for the Pfanstiehl 604-D3
604D3 needle stylus is used with the Pickering V-15
series cartridges and Pickering P/AT, AT2, NP/AT,
P/ATE, NP/ATE, P/AC, NP/AC cartridges. The stylus features a highly polished 3.0
mil diamond designed specifically for the correct tracing of
the wide grooves of 78 RPM records. It results in
minimal groove wear and accurate rendition of voice
and music.
A very common misconception is that you can use an LP
stylus for playing 78 RPM records. This is one quick and
sure way to damage the 78 RPM record grooves. To
maintain the playback fidelity of your 78 record, you
really need to use a stylus designed for 78 RPM records,
otherwise with just a single playing, you could ruin the
fidelity of the record grooves. Moreover, the LP stylus
is much narrower than the 78 RPM 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.
Please note: The V-15 Micro series require the 4527
stylus replacement.
