LP Tunes FAQ

How do I know what stylus/needle to buy?

Identify the make and model of your turntable. Ex. Audio Technica AT-PL120
Identify the make and model of your cartridge and/or stylus. Ex. Audio Technica ATP-2X

If the cartridge and/or stylus on your turntable have no brand or model number, please email us a photo of it and the make and model of your turntable.
If there is no cartridge and/or stylus on your turntable, please send us the make and model of your turntable and we will assist you with finding the correct cartridge and stylus.
If you are referencing the turntable’s owner’s manual for your cartridge make and model, be sure to check what is currently fitted to your turntable. If the cartridge that is currently fitted to your turntable does not match what is listed in the manual, you will end up with the wrong stylus. Please contact us for assistance in finding the correct stylus.

Search LP Tunes for the turntable or cartridge make and model number. You will find results for a compatible stylus replacement.

Inspect and compare your stylus to the image of the stylus on LP Tunes. Generally, the appearance should match besides the variation in color if there is one.

Stylus Care

Don't touch the tip!
To prevent distortion, muffled sound, noise and excessive stylus wear, make it a practice to clean each record before playing it.
Foreign matter or dust can also collect on the stylus itself. It should be checked before playing each record.
Be careful not to strike the stylus tip with any object, touch it with bare hands, or damage it in any other way.
Please refrain from using excessive force or touching the cantilever unless absolutely necessary (i.e. for the purpose of cleaning).
Greater force than the tracking force prescribed may damage the stylus tip or the record groove, or distort sound reproduction.

Stylus for Sanyo GXT-140 GXT 140 GXT140 turntable

made the record player sound 100 times better, like new again

Fantastic Cartridge at an affordable price!

I was using the cartridge that came with my turntable which was an Audio Technica lower end cartridge. It sounded pretty good but it came to replace it. I wanted something that wasn't going to be too pricey as the turntable that I was replacing the cartridge on is a Crosley C200 which is a low end turntable. I came across LP tunes and found this replacement cartridge. I figured the price is right and it's not as cheap (you get what you pay for) as the cartridge the Crosley C200 came with. WOW and WOW!! what a major difference. So the replacement cartridge (if I was to get the exact same one that the Crosley C200 came with) is $22 bucks and for $20 more I got the LP CF3600LE and man I couldn't be happier! This sounds WAY better than what came with the turntable, and I didn't have to pay over a $100 to replace a cartridge for a lower end turntable. I can hear more detailed sounds now. I have higher end turntables and when it's time to replace the cartridge, I'm gonna order from LP Tunes. I couldn't be happier.

Quality parts in good price

I have a vintage Pioneer turn table and it was really hard to find good parts for it that is within my budget. After series of dishonest sellers, I’m so stoked to have found this shop with a quality needle I needed. Now my turn table is playing perfectly. Thank you!
