A large number of people own music collections and much of this will be on vinyl so they will need a record player to play the records. Modern day listeners tend to use digital audio players or compact discs and some spares for record players can be hard to find. When you need replacement turntable needles, you will have to find a supplier that can find a compatible one.

A good quality stylus is one of the most important parts of a record deck because it translates the grooves in the vinyl into the sound you hear. An old or damaged stylus will never produce quality audio and it could also cause a huge amount of damage to your records. There are many different types of needle and it important to find a reputable supplier when you are buying.

A good place to begin your search for a replacement needle is from one of the many professional audio dealers that can be found on the high street in many neighborhoods. A lot of the stores will have a comprehensive stock of needles for modern decks and out of production models. If they cannot supply you with a compatible stylus, they can usually contact a manufacturer, and place an order.

The net is a very useful place to buy your needles and there are a large number of online suppliers that carry huge stocks. You will need to spend some time browsing their web site to find a match and it is useful if you have a manufacturer and model number. Many of the web based retailers can find you a match if you send in a good quality photo of your old stylus.

If a high street store, or one of the web based retailers cannot help, you can look at one of the internet auction sites. Some of these sites will have needles up for auction and you can place a bid after finding a compatible one. If you are not sure the item you are bidding on is suitable, you can email the seller and try to get some more information.

Another good place to find record player parts is a junk store in the area and many will have decks complete with a stylus. When you are looking for a needle for a very old player, these shops often have what you are searching for. The prices of items in these stores are usually very low and you can often pick up a bargain.

Manufacturers are also worth contacting, and many of them will sell you a replacement stylus direct. If your deck is no longer in production, they may still have some older needles in stock. If they cannot help you they can advise on where to continue your search.

When you buy your new needle it is essential to care for it in the correct way. If you are not fitting it immediately, you should keep it in the box until you are ready to use it. Always keep your purchase receipts in case you need to return a faulty stylus or exchange it for another one.
