Excuse my naivety, but does this cartridge have a stylus and is complete/ready to attach to a tone arm? I called a reseller; got differing info. Thx!

To be clear, the cartridge is ready to mount with screws and nuts in a cartridge SHELL, which is then connected to the tone arm. Some cartridges attach or connect directly to the tone arm. This is not that type. The cartridge comes with a stylus.

I don't have any of the cartridges, but it works fine without them. After it is on, adjust the settings with/without the rythem, and set what kind of sound you want. Then it works like an electric autoharp, you push the chord buttons and strum away.

I may have found your problem . Float your tone arm all the up with the cart on it. Look at it at eye level . If it loos slanted its . I returned three Stanton turntables to amazon for the same thing. So I don't know if its Stanton crappy production or amazon buying shady stock' The box should have a stamped inspection sticker on it. My three didn't. All I can say is im done with Stanton products and amazon for that matter.

That's the rub. There is no replacement cartridge. They call the tonearm/cartridge a "tonearm/headshell assembly." Very disappointed because I generally like AT cartridges. The stylus is removable and the original model # is ATN3600L. Other AT styli may fit... Do your homework on this one... It's not what I'd consider typical AT quality... The software was absolute junk. Good luck.

I believe so. The S tone arm doesn't wear your record's grooves like the straight arm does. It has no distortion like the straight one will give you in time. Get the Grado Blue stylus. It has a warm sound to it.

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.

No. It doesn't come with a Stylus. It captive screen is so sensitive to finger touch that a Stylus would be redundant.

Yes, it bolts into the removable head shell on the end of the tone arm, unscrew the tone arm collar, remove the shell bolts and then remove the wires with tweezers. Before mounting the new cartridge into the head shell slide the blue brush bar and stylus, one piece, out of the cartridge, it's easier/safer to mount the new cart this way and you can slide it back in when mounting is complete. Place the tiny bolts in threw the top of the head shell and slide the cartridges bolt carriers onto them, now screw on the tiny nuts. This is a fiddly job requiring patience, if this proves too difficult you can always reverse bolts so that they stick up through the head shell, this makes screwing the nuts on easier but it doesn't look so good. Use the supplied Shure mounting graph to adjust, square up, the cart correctly in the head shell. Lightly finger tighten the bolts with the supplied screwdriver so they are snug but DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN, the nuts and bolts are made of light, soft aluminum and the threads are easily stripped. Next get some tweezers, fine needle nose pliers or small forceps and mount the wires from the shell onto the colour coded cartridge input posts. Once the head shell is mounted back on the tone arm place the whole record player onto a level table, important, revers or unscrew the adjustable counterweight at the back of the tone arm until the tone arm with cart/head shell attached floats freely level with the top of the round platter. Once level turn the gram number dial to zero without turning the weight, now turn both the number dial and counterweight together to one and a half to two grams, now your set. This is a cheap and cheerful way to mount a cartridge however there are many tools and gauges available for cartridge mounting that make the job easier and more accurate if you want to spend the money. Good Luck.

Simply, no. This stylus only fits on ortofon om cartridges. You'll need an audio technica replacement stylus. Try lpgear or turntablesandneedless.com

It does. I accidentally bought the drum first, and of course, there's no toner with the drum. I bought this, shook it gently side to side, forward and back, keeping it on the level, (I worked in a printer test unit, and that's what we did with every printer cartridge), replaced the old cartridge with this one, and it printed. There was smudging on the first one (or two pages), then perfect after that.

yes the stylus arm has auto return. I still do not recomend this unit as the stylus/cartridge is of inferior quality. The sound reproduced when playing records is very trebbly and does not do your music justice. If your recording feature actually works (mine failed on 4 different units) you would be better off plugging in another quality record player into the auxilliary to record a better sound.Good luck with this unit if you do buy one, but after my experiences with this particular product, I will never purchase this brand again.

A little more info...the stock cartridge uses a ceramic (piezoelectric) element to produce a signal. A modern magnetic cartridge is more accurate, but I'm not sure if this cartridge/tonearm conforms to either the 1/2" mount or the T4P (P-mount) standard. If you can fit a magnetic cartridge, the preamp electronics in the turntable might not work with it properly. Ceramic and magnetic cartridges require different circuit designs to produce a correctly equalized and amplified output.

Mine did not come with a stylus. You can probably get one, but the finger works fine. I love the interchange-ability to go from mouse pad to finger. It is a nice computer. I highly recommend it.

No a stylus don't come with it. I didn't receive anything with instruction.

I've been trying to find the same thing out for myself. An empty cartridge that I can refill? Anyone have any input?

Mine actually did come with a stylus ! However, I don't think it actually worked
