Hello Everyone! I'm currently saving for a high end cartridge, but.. the stylus fell out of my current cartridge (Grado Platinum 1.) I don't feel like sending it off to Grado to pay $250 for rebuilding, but I hate not being able to listen to my vinyl. Any recomendations on a $50-75 cartridge I can use while I save $$? (It's a VPI HW TT and a Lustre GST 801 Tonearm. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Scotty
If you send the Grado to the Needle Doctor they will ship you a new Grado Platinum for $250. They don't rebuild them they just give you an exchange. The whole process only takes a few days.
Why don't you just stick on one of those Grado 8MZ stylus's from LP/Gear. You just may not want one of those expensive cartridges after hearing that upgrade! $100 and you will be amazed at the difference!
