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 Fisher 230XA turntable

Stylus for Fisher 230XA turntable?

I can't say enough good things about the quality or the speedy delivery.

I had just purchased the turntable from a thrift store. They could not verify if it worked, so be I took a chance.

It played when I got on home but so it need horrible. The needle in the stylus was loose in its mount and not in the best condition.

Your stylus solved that problem. It sounds fantastic. I will be sure to check with you first should I need any other parts.

Great Service!

I received my merchandise within just a few days! Installed it, and works like a charm! I didn't have to wait weeks for it to arrive from oversees. They had the stylus I needed, apparently on hand, for a 1978 Collaro turntable. It was shipped within a day! Thank you and your company of people that stand behind your name and products!

Tip to installer: remove the turntable from spindle. Using a 3/4"" hole saw, drill hole in the turntable so that you can place the belt on the capstan.
