My cell phone is amazing. I can't believe how close I could get with it

Nothing like a fresh 'needle' to bring out the stirring passages in your favorite music.

I'm surprised Ortofon doesn't sell just a replacement stylus, so you don't have to replace the entire cartridge!

Careful with the magic eraser. Can easily pull stylus off or damage if you don’t keep it a gentle straight down and up. Straight in straight out

They do. Depends on what model. They may even offer for all. I have an ortofon 2m blue on the shelf. Can put any 2m stylus on it I believe

Grado 'blue' here, I had a brand new "Black" cartridge I bought years ago at a silent auction; the styli' are interchangeable, so after being inspired by this thread, I replaced the stylus and re-set the tonearm weights and cartridge and stylus angles. A big difference.
