Record Player Needle, Gartopvoiz Diamond Stylus Replacement for Turntable, LP, Phonograph(Pack of 2) by Gartopvoiz

The media could not be loaded. Perfect! This needle works better than my original. I’m back in business! My vinyl player in my bedroom has been out of commission because I could not find a needle replacement. This did it! I’m so happy…so far! Hopefully it lasts for a little while.

I have a crosley cruiser plus with the needle that came in the box, and I was having issues with skipping and muddled sound, I thought the skipping part was because of the records themselves and the muddled sound was because I had bad speakers, but NOPE, someone recommended I get better quality needle, and the difference is day and night! the sound is clear and formerly skipping records no longer skip! Definitely recommended.

These noodles do a great job replacing old ones, easy to place and use. Decent for the cost.

I just got these replacement needles, and I have to admit that I'm pleasantly surprised. I had two records with skipping issues--one of which, Demon Days by Gorillaz, is actually notorious for skipping in general depending on the pressing you get. My Gorillaz album was unlistenable, with skips on every track. At the time, I was using my turntable's starter stylus, which was a sapphire with a metal cantilever. It worked fine on most records, but the skips annoyed me. I'm relatively new to records, and I felt disheartened. My record player, which is not a suitcase player, worked wonderfully for the most part, but again, those annoying skips on two records! But I decided, after research, to try these diamond replacements out.Long story short: they fixed most of the skips on the Gorillaz album and the other problem one, which was by the Foo Fighters. The sound also generally seems a little clearer. Oddly, my volume output seems to be a little lower now; it feels like my songs are maybe 1/4 softer than before. I think a previous review mentioned this. Either way, this will take more testing to be sure of, but even if that ends up being true, things still seem to sound a bit better, and the fixing of the skips is wonderful. There are still a few areas skipping here and there, but they're few and far between, and if this needle could make an unlistenable album almost perfect again, well, that's an endorsement I didn't expect to make.Installing the new stylus was a little harder than I expected, in that it took a bit of tinkering to get it to snap on correctly. Again, though, I'm a relative newbie, so take this with a grain of salt.Overall, I would recommend these. I have more testing to do to be sure, including with some more bass-heavy records I'll be getting this week (as bass-heavy modern-day songs have higher chances of skipping), but so far, I'm really impressed. I smiled and danced to a song I couldn't dance to before, and isn't that what this is all about, in the end?

Good quality needles.

Good

Nothing wrong with needle, just didn't fit our turntable.

I got these for my Emerson Turntable (model #nr305tt) that had questionable sound from the Phono/Record player. The Radio, CD, and tape player sounded fine, so I thought the speakers must be good. So these styluses came in a small metal box (think: gift card tin at Christmas) stuffed in foam to protect the needle. Each stylus had its own plastic sheath to protect it inside the tin (so plastic sheath, foam stuffing, metal tin). The tin came with installation instructions as well. After I installed the new stylus (easy), and put an old record in, the sound came through beautifully! What a difference! These work perfectly!
