WHAT PHONO CARTRIDGE WILL FIT MY TURNTABLE? We can't recommend cartridges for specific turntables, as we don't have specifications for most of them. However, 95% of the time, unless
the turntable is a very inexpensive one, the cartridge mount will be one of the following two types:1) Standard Mount - by far the most common
Two screws, half an inch apart, thread through the cartridge body to secure it to the headshell, which then plugs into the tone arm. 2) P-mount - Primarily on Technics brand turntables The four prongs at the back of the cartridge plug directly into the tone arm. A set screw goes through the side of the cartridge at the back, to hold it in place on the tone arm. In descending levels of sound quality, we have the following cartridges available for listening to LP's: | Cartridge | Application | Mounting Type | | M97XE | audiophile | standard | | M92E | versatility | both | | M78S | 78 RPM | standard |
Monophonic cartridge for playing wide-groove / 78 RPM records: M78S The N78S replacement stylus will work in any of the above cartridges, providing them with wide-groove / 78 RPM record playback capability. All DJ cartridges are standard mount, but these are not recommended for home audio use. |
