Product details
Compatibility & setup
This moving-coil cartridge has no user-replaceable stylus assembly. VM95, VM and P-mount styli will not fit. Contact Audio Exchange about manufacturer service or exchange options and check current eligibility and lead times; a complete cartridge change also requires appropriate phono gain and loading.
Confirm the cartridge actually fitted to your turntable. Follow the replacement stylus instructions and required tracking force; physical fit alone does not make every stylus suitable for every record or use.
