Changing the Stylus/Needle to a Shure Stylus Does anyone know if it possible to change the stylus/cartridge to something like a Shure Cartridge (like Model M97XE)? Or wouldn't they be compatible?

Here's a very helpful website that lists stylus tips by player models. https://www.lpgear.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=496a49bc2a90c38814278b93eb68ef77&

Don't know about the Shure model, but the Sony PS-LX300USB stylus is a model number N-6516. I have been shopping and have found several compatible ones. The base model (which comes with the turntable) is conical diamond, with a carbon-fiber cantilever. There are also elliptical and hyper-elliptical versions, with aluminum cantilever. I don't know enough to recommend a vendor yet, but if you do a web search for N-6516 Stylus you will find several.

78s need a wider stylus (~3 mil). Search for a 78 replacement stylus for your cartridge to swap in when playing 78s.

That sucks. This turntable worked for me for about 2 and half years and now the needle needs to be replaced but I cannot find the correct replacement anywhere. Also - it seems as if they do not have a website or any sort of customer service like you say. I took it in to Guitar Center and the guy told me to check out www.needledoctor.com but I haven't looked into it yet. Good luck!!

Please if you have not bought this DON"T. It is a real piece of junk on so many levels. If you have one there are some people on E-bay that sell needles at a very reasonable price. You could check with them. Just type in phono needles. as far as tone arms I do not know.

It does not come with a stylus, and I do not think it is compatible. I tried to use one before I responded to your question. I will say that I love this computer!

I'm sorry, I have no idea where you can get a new stylus tip. I think I would start by asking the sellers if they have replacement tips. Sorry I don't know any more.

I have not used the stylus very much but found it worked flawlessly. I have been using my fingers to touch and go. I am very happy with the monitor's touch capabilties and display. Good Luck!

Yes, you can use any stylus , the smaller one would be preferable, however I use the old fashion finger. Wish you well. Larry

I'm using Shure's M44-7 I play vinyl records and control vinyl with Traktor Scratch. I heard good reports from people who use the Shure Whitelabel. Shure WHLB Whitelabel DJ Turntable Cartridge If you're not familiar with cartridge setup stay with the all in one units, such as the Ortofon Concords, Shure WHTLB or any pre mounted phono cartridge, it makes setup easier.

Hello. The only stylus I have available to me is the kind NOT for writing; it has the large rounded soft top which works well for just poking around on the screen. Just tried it out and that works, but I cannot say anything worthwhile about WRITING anything on the screen. Perhaps someone else may have experience with this? particularly with some better styli out there.

If you go to the manufacturer's web site www.ionaudio.com they sell replacement styluses (stylii?) under "Turntable Accessories."

Yes, I did get a couple of different stylus needles for mine, but really the one that came with the unit sounds the best. The other work, but you have to trim the plastic of the cartridge and adjust, but I managed to get both to snap in. It just snaps in, and these cartridges are flexible plastic, not completely rigid plastic. So if you have any trouble getting it to fit, it may have to be looked at carefully and then trim a tab or heat melt a tab to fit. But the original one is great. I have a 78rpm needle and the smaller 33rpm needle, but the original sounds great on both. Great is a relative term here, but it plays all the records and it's portable.

Exactly as Russell responded, make sure to buy the cartridge/stylus combo as the cartridge is specific to this stylus and will work 100 percent. Also make sure you have a head shell and head shell wires, most are universal.

I have this type of stylus and really enjoy using it, It has the feel and texture ot a pencil. All that is required is to gently point thr rubberized tip on a letter or whatever tou are using if for. It helps me enter my dialogue faster,Good luck

Under magnification the stylus tip appears to be shiny black - not transparent or translucent as would be expected of a fine diamond. Hence by deduction the stylus is synthetic. Not sure what a TTUSB (USB turntable?). The cartridge should work on any turntable to which it can mounted. Note that this is a 'throwaway' cartridge at $32 USD (Amazon). There is no stylus replacement for it. Also note that the cartridge's weight can be reduced by about 1/2 (to about 2.5 gm) by removing the metal weight installed on the mounting surface. This fact is to be found in Ortophon documents (which are now obsolete). Caveat Emptor!

No, this model stylus is only for 33 and 45 rpm records. There are 78 rpm styli for this cartridge available elsewhere online.

Unfortunately the stylus and cartridge of this model are built in. They cannot be replaced. Hence the cheap price.
