78 RPM replacement for Vestax VR-1SPP VR1SPP stylus
The 78 RPM replacement for the Vestax VR-1SPP VR1SPP stylus features a highly polished 3.0 mil radius diamond for correctly playing 78's records. The color of the stylus varies.
To maintain the playback fidelity of your 78 RPM records you really need to use a stylus designed for 78RPM records. A very common misconception is that you can use a LP stylus for playing 78 records. This is one quick and sure way to damage the 78 record grooves. Moreover, the LP stylus is much narrower than the 78 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.
Do not order this stylus if it looks different from what you have. It will not fit if the original cartridge is missing or has been changed. Please contact us if you need assistance or prefer a new cartridge. If possible, provide us with the markings on the existing cartridge and stylus (look for the brand and model number). Photos will be helpful.
