Will this fit on a Pioneer PL-518 headshell? Currently running a Stanton 680EE cart. Any thoughts on how good the Stanton is?

I am using a Stanton 680EE although i have the Shure you are using .They are both good cartridges and yes the Shure will fit on the 518 i

Wasn't familiar with the PL-518, so I looked at the unit online. Looks like it should work. The Shure has the standard 2 screw attachment points, like the Pioneer headshell I saw online. My original intent was to use the old headshell from my 80's Technics TT, but the wires on the Shure were beefier than on my old headshell. I purchased a generic one from a local record shop (really), but you can find them on Amazon also. I've never owned a Stanton 680EE or other Stanton products. I found a rave review for this unit, however, so I'm sure you're happy with it. The Shure M97xE was a bit of a compromise for me, I found it for under $70 and it was reviewed well, so I went for it instead of the AT440MLA @ $140. I'm very happy with the Shure unit, and truth be told, I use my garage stereo more than my living room stereo, so I guess I'm not that picky anyway. Of course the AT440MLA is over $200 now, so kinda wish I bought it back then. Hope you find something good at Record Store Day tomorrow. Clark

It seems to work fine on mine. I only used mine for one or two times but it fits and works on my straight shaft srm-2100 Echo.

I assume you have Technics turntable.In that case no reason why this cart would not fit to its 1/2 inch headshell.I have SL Q2 and it works perfectly.

I have 2 Pioneer PLX-1000's and they fit and sound perfect! You will love them!

With respect to these Stantons the answer is an absolute no-brainer. The S tonearm is the only serious listening option because these recently designed Stanton straight-arms are too short... WAY too short... INCHES too short. No cartridge I've ever seen can possibly have a correct overhang set with a tonearm as short as these Stantons. For DJs maybe they're the berries, but not for any audiophile application.

Yes this stylus will work for the Pioneer pl990. I bought one for the exact same model Pioneer and it worked perfectly.

no, it will only work with a pioneer head unit made before 2003. it will have a blue toslink connection on the back of the unit.the model number of the head unit should also have a "P" prefix

This will work with any turntable/headshell that uses a standard mount -- but I should note that this is not a P-mount type.

I'm sure that they would have something similar to this for the model Pioneer that you have. You would have to do some research. I had to do a little bit for my deck and it doe's work for mine and easy to install. Sorry if I can't help you much. I'm not an expert in this.

Yes it will fit, but the dust cover is not hinged. I bought a cover and hinges, which I found later that the dust cover must have the hinges installed buy a Tech, because holes have to be drilled into the turntable to attach the hinges. to make it go up and down as a dust cover. I leave it alone and don't worry about it. I can't believe that Technics could come up with that poor idea. It fits perfectly, but be prepared to spend some money to have it all attached.

I've always been partial to the Stanton Groovemaster V3. You just have to plug in in, and it's perfectly aligned. You need to balanced it, that's it. It like a sizable amount of pressure to sounds its best. Stanton recommends 2-6 grams. I'd push it all the way to 6 grams. You'll be amazed at the sweet, yet powerful sound. This professional cartridge will compete with others costing much more. I think it's one of the best, and it's perfectly suited for Audio Technica AT-LP 1240.

Good question. I'm unsure, try calling pioneer to better answer your question. Sorry I couldn't help.

No! That's why I bought it, does NOT fit. Order from a company that makes replacements for pioneer. Pioneer tip is crazy hard to find

Hello PaulI did some quick research and it would appear that this headshell is compatible to the Technics SL 1100. Looks like what Panasonic did was make their headshells compatible on any turntable that has a screw on headshell.

Yes, it is compatible/usable, on that specific turntable, as long as you have the correct-sized headshell.

The 501PL is compatible with the 503 Series Head. How familiar are you with your tripod head and this plate? I have some suggestions for things to try but I don't want to sound condescending because all of them are obvious. There's always the chance that you received a defective plate, or your tightening knob on the side of your tripod head is not functioning correctly.
