"Alright, so here we have the head. On the head, we have the cartridge. The cartridge holds the stylus, which is the actual part that is the needle. That's where actually reads the grooves on the record. Now, the cartridge consists of the main part. You sometimes also just refer to this part as the cartridge which you can actually slide right out and slide right in. I have over here, a head and cartridge that is taken apart. I've already slid out the cartridge, the portion of the cartridge that holds the stylus, because I don't want to damage it. When you're putting a new needle on, you definitely probably want to slide that out, and not have it even close, because any possibility of damaging would defeat the whole purpose, and you're just going to need to change your needle again. So, next I'm going to get into how we're going to actually put the cartridge on the head."

on 1/1/2009 The cartridge and the stylus are 2 completely different things. The stylus is the part that slides out. The cartridge does not slide out, it is attached to the headshell by screws. So there is no way to slide out the cartridge. If your going to provide tutorials, please use the proper terminology. Otherwise, when a complete novice views your video, you've just given them the incorrect terms. When these people come into a store and say, I want to replace my cartridge, we believe they mean the entire assembly. If they were given the CORRECT terminology, they would really mean, I want to replace my stylus. Then we would ask... Which Cartridge do you have? Then we would proceed to match his stylus, according to the cartridge he is using. Other than that, I enjoy your videos.
