LP Tunes 402-M208-165 NEEDLE STYLUS FOR 78 RPM

The LP Tunes 402-M208-165 needle 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 grooves.

Worth It

Better tracking and a crisper high end.

Just what I needed

In five minutes I located and ordered the belt for a random old turntable I found at a garage sale. The part came quickly and fit perfectly!

The original belt had deteriorated into dust, I don’t know how I could have found the right one without being able to look it up by make & model. (there was nothing left to measure!). Thanks to LP Tunes I was able to get this $10 turntable working and sounding great!
