Questions & Answers

When determining tracking force, how do I calculate it?

For measuring tracking force, they make scales. The scale I bought on Amazon is a digital one. In the range of 10 to 11. You should dial in half a gram for your tone arm. Increasing the weight by 1 gram will stop it skipping on a good album.

Is this the replacement stylus for the Ortofon 3E?

If it replaces the 3E, yes, I believe it can. 5E is supposed to be a slight upgrade from 3E according to my readings. Though they mount differently, they are still similar.

What are the pros and cons of buying it?

What stylus has to be replaced will depend on what is being replaced. My pro-camera used to have a damaged one, so I bought this to replace it This is a project turntable. Having this turntable is a great first step into the world of high-end turntables. The stylus is very convenient and I am very pleased with it!

What if I want to convert it to ?

This is an outstanding stylus! It was claimed that my NAD turntable had a new stylus It wasn't quite right, but I suspected there was a problem

The best replacement for this item was not available

3/5

Replaced the stylus on my older Ortofon 5E cartridge with this replacement stylus. During my listening of an LP the cartridge came completely out of the replacement because it fit so loosely in it. It is sometimes impossible for the stylus to pick up the left channel because it did not fit I have now repositioned the stylus for it to work in both channels for a while. If the stylus had a proper fit in the cartridge, I would be pleased.

I needed an exact replacement for the stylus that came with my pro- You can turn the turntable into a project. Like the original, it works just as well. I like the way it sounds on my debut LL.

The exact thing I was looking for

5/5

There's a slight difference in strength between this stylus and some of your more expensive needles and it sounds great. There are too many styli to choose from, and I wanted a needle that would sound good even on "disregarded" records.
