REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE VN-78E VN78E NEEDLE STYLUS (78 RPM STYLUS)

78s are kind of the earliest iteration of what we think of as a record today.  Anachronistic as it is, 78 RPM records showcase the sound, honesty, and spontaneity of a time before second takes and multi-track mixing were common in record studios.  Therein is their art to be cherished and enjoyed sans today's electronic artifice.  The LP Tunes replacement for the Shure VN-78E VN78E needle stylus is used with the Shure V15 Type III phono cartridges including the V15 III, V15 III-DL, V15III-GSL, V15 III-GZ, V15 III-G and V15 III-HE.  The stylus features a 3.0 mil polished diamond designed specifically for the correct tracing of the wide grooves of 78 RPM records.  Tracking force: 1.5 - 3.0g. 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.

Mom’s old cartridge is alive!!

I wanted to restore my mom’s old Shure RXT-4 (Radio Shack version of the M97ED) and this stylus is just perfect!! I never imagined how beautiful this cartridge with this stylus could sound! Warm mellow melodies for Jazz and Classical! Very well balanced!! Love it! I pair it with my Technics SL-1200Mk2 and SL-D2

very satisified

received the belt fairly quickly and it fit great and the turntable works great now.....thank you very much
