Was playing a few old LPs (remember them anyone ) trying to make a compilation tape for Chrissy. Problem is I need a new stylus but I can't think these are readily available any more? Any ideas? David

erm

Make% model would be a good start.

Easily available- unless its some obscure ancient thing (mine are £45 each but they are professional)

TelBoy

Budget? I can cater for £35 to £10,000...

Remember LP's - still buy vinyl to this day so I should say so.

As others have said we need to know make/model and what it's on. Many stylii are readily available, but not for some of the midi system turntables so come on, fess up what are you running?

Even if it's a Japanese-brand "system" turntable, if you can mount a new cartridge you can get a decent Goldring or Ortofon for about £25 IIRC.

Thanks guys,

This is what it says "on the box". Basically it is a Sony system being: Fully Remote Controlled Compact Hi-Fidelity Stereo System LBT-D307. Turntable on top is Sony Auto Stereo Turntable System PS-LX49P. About 14 years old.

We do have a Sony shop about 14 miles away so I may give them a call but is the past thay have been pretty hopeless about support services!

May be I will plug in the model numbers into Google and see what happens. Thanks, David

Edited to ask Brickboy - thanks. Silly question but where do I get these from - any largish CD/record store?

I recently bought an Epson Stylus from PC World :P

If you have no joy then go for a cheapie like an Audio Technica AT95E (think they're maybe AT110 or something now). They're about £25 but great for the money.

Hope this helps

David - go Ortofon. They have stylii for most budgets.

Speak to my bro-in-law Chris - http://www.cga-ltd.co.uk

Thanks again guys - and happy Xmas BTW

Druddle - may well give your bro-in-law a call after Chrissy as I need to speak to someone about lights for my boy's band. In fact someone who did some lighting for a gig for the band mentioned he got most of his stuff from cga so small world. Kave is local to us but I would like to try cga especially if I have a name.

David, you'd have to go to a hifi store to get a cartridge. A basic Audio Technica / Goldring / Ortofon will do the trick and will be much better than the OEM Sony.

If you do a web search you can find a protracter that you can download and print, to help you line the stylus up correctly.

Good luck!
