The improved replacement for the Astatic N70 needle features a highly polished diamond which increases the expected playing time of the Astatic N70 needle to 600-1,000 hours.
Grado 8MZ for my older ZF1 Grado cartridge Fits like a charm and sounds awesome, clarity and great bass and highs and lows. Great choice for alternative stylus .
The belt just crossed the Canadian border today. It may take another week before getting to my home. Wait and see...
I found a Dual CS508 ULM turntable at the local Thrift Store. It still had the AT cartridge installed utilizing the Dual 1/2" adapter. I made a simple repair but upon testing, the cartridge had no output. I removed the headshell adapter and found that "fatigue" had cause the adapter to crack causing a loss of contact with the tonearm connection. I had bought to 1/2" adapters from ebay and transferred the AT cartridge to the new adapter and mounted it back on the tonearm. The turntabled played perfectly. As a matter of protocol, I ordered a new stylus from LP Tunes that fit perfectly. Thank you for still having this stylus in stock.
