2 x DJ STYLUS FITS STANTON 500 v2 v3 500A 500AL 500E 505SK 520SK D5100AL KYOWA

Great replacement for my tired stylus on my Gemini XL-600 - hard to find good quality styluses for this nowadays as it's an old turntable.Arrived a day before estimate, item as pictured and having installed and now listening, the quality is top drawer - definitely reccommend

Great price and early delivery.Just what I needed to get back to dj'ing

Good value but don't expect the same sound as an original 500 or 505. I'm no audiophile, but for general listening of charity shop/junk records these are perfect for me. Stereo image is very narrow, but voices are clear and the top end isn't as harsh as some other cheap needles. I found I needed quite a high tracking weight to stop kick drum distortion on dance music. 4-5g as apposed to 3.5 for an original 505 cart so bare that in mind. I'm happy with them for the price, but I wouldn't want to use them with my more precious records. For sound quality and reduced record wear, I would recommend something a bit more high end.

OK Styli is now getting expensive and the usage of turntables have made a resurgence in quality cartridges. You cannot go wrong with Stanton's. Great all rounder and unlike non branded cartridges these fit the majority of the 500 series. I bought 6 overall for the radio station. we go through these like kids with nappies. Performance not as good as the original BUT very close, tracking is not as good but you get what you pay for.

great quality

So after 25 years my old Stanton's died. I started mixing again when lockdown started so after a long hiatus, the needles had a battering. These replacement needles fitted perfectly and the sound quality is superb. It'll be interesting to see if these last 25years!Delivered a day early as well 🙂 and we'll packaged. Thanks

Good,

Not the first time I bought these. Consistantly good quality poduct
