Replacement for Akai RS-82 RS82 Improved stylus
The replacement for the Akai RS-82 RS82 improved stylus is used with the Akai PC-82 PC82 phono cartridge. The stylus features an aluminum cantilever which is superior to the carbon fiber used in the regular Akai RS-82 RS82 stylus. The aluminum cantilever allows a firmer grip on the record groove resulting in better tonality, dynamic contrast and spatial detail. It is more durable and longer lasting.
The color of the stylus varies. Please compare with your stylus and use this as a guide only since the cartridge and stylus may have been changed through the years.
Do not order the above stylus if it looks different from what you have or your stylus is missing. Instead, look at the info and marking on the existing cartridge and stylus and provide these to us. We need the brand and model number. Photos will also be helpful.
