The pictures above and to the side are actual needles, one common mistake people often make is confusing the needle with the cartridge. The actual needle plugs into or clips onto the cartridge that is attached to the tone arm. Also, the record needle may not be just the metal or plastic shaft that touches the record. The white plastic housing in the picture to the right is actually part of the needle assembly. They come in a large variety of shapes, sizes and colors. 33/45/16 rpm speed generally all use the same tip size, while the 78 rpm speed uses a larger tip size, If you plan on playing 78 rpm records on you turntable you will need to use a needle designed for playing 78 rpm records. If you do not plan on playing 78 rpm records, some turntable needles offer the option of having a LP tip on both sides (only flip over type needles).

Locate your needle

To help you in locating the correct stylus/needle for your unit follow these 3 simple steps below:

Use our picture charts to assist you in locating the closest match to your needle. Keep in mind, the brand name of your turntable will not always match the needle.
