REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE N55E-3 NEEDLE STYLUS (78 RPM STYLUS)

The replacement for the Shure N55E-3 needle stylus is used with the Shure M55E series cartridges. The 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.

Dual TK14 Cartridge Sled

A simple part, however having bought one off the Bay which had incorrect leads, this one actually does the job on my 2 12xx series tables.

Stylus for Mitsubishi X-10 is fantastic

I recently purchased a replacement stylus for my Mitsubishi X 10 turntable. I’ve been looking a suitable replacement for some time and found it difficult to find a good quality option.. the folks at LP tunes were very helpful in providing me suggestions as to the best option available to match the OEM performance of the original cartridge. The replacement they provided was amazing. It provided excellent audio quality and is very similar to the OEM cartridge.
