STANTON 78 RPM STYLI
We have had many requests for information regarding the correct styli to use for playback of older records. In an effort to answer these types of questions, we have the following recommendations:
33 and 45 RPM records:
All Stanton cartridge and styli products can be used for playback of these records by using the standard 0.7 mil spherical, 0.4 x 0.7 mil or 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical styli supplied with the cartridge product.
78-RPM records:
The 500, 600, and 800 series cartridges above can be adapted to play 78 RPM records by the use of a 78-RPM replacement stylus. The replacement styli listed below are made for each family series of Stanton product and can be used in that specific family series, no matter the age of the cartridge.
For STANTON 500 series cartridges D 5127
For STANTON 680 series of cartridges D 6827
For STANTON 880 series of cartridges D 827
These replacement 78-RPM styli will easily replace the current stylus in your cartridge body. You may have to increase your tracking pressure in order to keep the 78-RPM stylus in the record groove at the higher 78-RPM speed. This is because the older 78-RPM records vary in their groove width and pressing characteristics. To add one of these items to your shopping cart, select a model below:
