Finding Suitable Replacement Turntable Cartridges

By Karen Wood


If you own a collection of vinyl records you will need to use a record player to listen to your music. From time to time certain components on your audio equipment will become damaged or worn and you will need to replace them. When you are looking for replacement turntable cartridges there are many to choose from and it is advisable to do a little research before you buy.

Your record deck cartridge is a very important component as it is the physical connection between the vinyl disc and the audio equipment. When the small needle has worn out or has been damaged it will not produce a good sound. A damaged cartridge will also damage your vinyl records and in severe cases it will render them unplayable.

There are a couple of types of cartridge that are commonly used which are either stereo or mono. They vary in price and will start at approximately twenty five dollars and can cost one thousand plus for the high quality models at the top end of the market. It is advisable to always buy the best quality that you can afford and there are models to suit all pockets.

You can buy cartridges from various places and a good starting point is a specialist audio store which you can find in most large towns and cities. One of the advantages of using a high street store is that the staff will be on hand to advise you. If a store does not have your item in stock they can usually order one from a manufacturer.

Browsing the web can also produce results and there are many suppliers that advertise their stock online. You can look through their stock on the web site and it will help if you have the make and model of your existing cartridge. The majority of internet sites will contain useful information and you can contact them if you need assistance before you order.

The web sites for the internet suppliers are also useful as they list their items with color pictures which make it easier to compare your item with their stock. Many cartridges are similar in appearance but they will not all be the same. If you do not know which on to buy then you should email or call them and ask for their professional advice.

You can also get in touch with the manufacturer of your turntable and they may be able to supply you with replacement components. Contacting the factory is especially useful if you are looking for a hard to find item or a product that is no longer available in stores. If they do not sell to the public they will recommend one of their authorized outlets where you can buy.

Cartridges are extremely delicate and they need to be looked after properly to avoid damaging them. When you purchase one and you do not use it straight away then you should keep it safely stored in the original box until you plan to fit it. It is advisable to retain your purchase receipt which you will need if you have to return an item or ask for a refund.
