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 TK-3E Cartridge for old Yamaha Turntable

LP Tunes was awesome to work with. I had an old Yamaha Turntable that hadn't been working for 15 or more years. I did a bunch of research and came to the conclusion that if I could get a new stylus for my cartridge, that would be the way to go. I emailed LT Tunes with the details and they emailed back in less than a day with the part I needed. I pulled the trigger and ordered it. Just this past Saturday, I put it together and now it works and sounds great! I must have spun 40 of my old albums over this past weekend and it was so much fun to hear them all and listen to actual albums again, start to finish. Thanks LP Tunes!

Perfect Fit

Amazing!

This needle sounds amazing, and elevates my turntables sound so much! It is like night and day! Highly recommend!

Great quality for price

I am very pleased with this replacement stylus for the Denon DL-60 which came pre-installed on my Denon DP-45F turntable. The stylus was delivered quickly and in great shape. The cantiliever was straight as it should be. The sound is great. I would not hesitate to buy this again from LP Tunes.
