78 RPM REPLACEMENT FOR CURTIS MATHES 402-M208-165 402 M208 165 402M208165 STYLUS

The 78 RPM replacement for the Curtis Mathes 402-M208-165 402M208165 stylus features a 3.0 mil polished 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. The stylus is made in Japan by a world-class manufacturer with a reputation for crafting musically excellent and high-quality replacement styli.

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.

Drive belt Ariston RD 11s

Hi! I got my drive belt today and its superb! I could not get one in Sweden so i was lucky to find LP Tunes on the web. You sent the belt quickly and its seems to be good quality. I am superhappy!
Long transport time though (23 days) but is not you to blame:)
Best regards
