I use a Benz Micro Glider on mine, but I have also used a Grado Sonata 1 Reference with excellent results. For overall value, I would consider the Ortofon 2M PNP series.

Ortophone its kind of expensive but its the top of the list, l will not recomend any other one

Shure M35 x is the one i purchased..read reviews find out what is best for your needs

That question is really too vague. There are so many types of needles/cartridges out there that give you a wide range of different sounds. It's really a preference thing. I really like Grado, but I know a lot of people who prefer other brands.

As of 12/2015, Jensen customer service says you should use the stylus it came with for all speeds. That's their opinion. You can get the proper needle at the "lpgear" site. Unfortunately it's half the cost of the turntable.

Hello. I've used the Crosley NP4 Replacement Record Needle whenever I had to replace mine and its very easy to install/works very well. Heres the link the the amazon page for it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00133MFBU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hey, I am buying speakers for a friend who has the same turntable - did you ever find a good solution / speakers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes I hope that needle will fit ! But the better solution is replace the whole cartridge 250xe with at3600 ! Then it will fits with your turntable 100% !

I would recommend using some sort of pre-amp between the turntable and the Kinter Amp. Most Phono pre-amps have a built in EQ curve to remove the pre-emphasis added during recording.( The RIAA EQ curve).there are several small phono pre-amps availible that would work well with this amp. A quick search here on amazon turned up one, the Pyle-Pro PP444 PYLE-PRO PP444 Ultra Compact Phono Turntable Preamp

Take the needle or number and go to any music store such as Wax Tracks or what ever is in your town. If they sell vinyl they usually sell needles. I have always had good luck.

Just about every headship mounted cartridge should fit this turntable. So you should have no issues finding a suitable one.Please let me know if you have any other questions. I will do my best to assist youJenniferMillennium Worldwide

I am 99 percent sure that it will work just fine. I found a photograph on eBay with the needle in question fitted on the turntable you are referring to which leads me to believe that it should indeed work. I also read some of an operator's manual that I found on the Internet that says that the needle in question will work. That's what I'm basing my answer on. I have a Technics turntable myself but it is a simple belt driven model. Based on the research I did the AT3482P.7 fits belt driven, direct drive and quartz, (I'm not sure what that means), turntables and I'm confident that it will work for your SL-Q200. I bought a AT3482P.7 roughly six months ago and we use it nearly every day and it works great. I hope this helps. All the best to you and I hope you have a great holiday season.

As a owner of these needles I would start by saying they are built rock solid and perform 100% well for me. The only variable would be a new or inexperienced DJ or Vinyl user my have his/her settings wrong on their turntable. Make sure your counterweight and height are balanced properly and your anti-skate is at a fair setting to allow the needle to set in the center of the record groove. If those 3 settings are set properly your Shure M44-7's will perform superior to alot of needles on the market today. If those 3 settings are wrong you would have an issue with skipping with any needle not just Shures. Normal playback is easy no skipping for me, same with scratching and trick mixing. I have no skipping and I am a club DJ. www.djdlowofficial.com

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.

Hi There, Unfortunately Im not sure what other needles will work on that particular cartridge. Im using the ortolan pro stylus. If it looks like it could work you could buy and return. I have done that move before with other cartridges. Good luck,

Purchase a phono - pre amp. The phono pre amp has a ground where you could connect the ground wire to the turntable ground!

YOU WILL NEED A PHONO PREAMP, Just check out Amazon for some phono preamps, $20-60 should get you one. That goes between your turntable and the amp inputs. I have this amp and it sounds great, make sure you use a 24VDC power supply, nice clean output I drive 2 MTM towers and they sound great with this amp.....

Definitely avoid Audiosource. I ended up buying a DBX 215 graphic EQ. I've used DBX equipment in the past and it's solid professional stuff. The 215 is a 15 band EQ which is designed for a rack system and for musical instruments but is slim and small enough to fit in with your home sound system. The only adjustment you'll need are 4 plug adapters that you can get from Radio Shack with an RCA female input from your stereo to a male standard guitar output. They're inexpensive, only a few dollars. I've had DBX for a few years now with excellent results. No distortion, just excellent professional sound quality. I bought it off of Amazon. You might have to go to the musical instrument section on Amazon to find it. It does boost the volume and sound but whether it would act as a good preamp I'm not sure. My system is disc player to EQ to amp. I haven't used my turntable is years. Good Luck
