Changing a Phono Cartridge: Replacing Stylus

Video Transcript

"Alright, so in actuality, since I use the same types of needles over and over, I use the same model, I actually don't need to go through all that every time I switch a needle. Especially if I'm at a gig and this needle is going and just like oh God, I need to change my needle right now. So, this is brand new, never been touched, I've never even opened this before. Pull it out, this is how it comes. The stylus is there in the cartridge, but obviously not attached to a head. I've seen you can buy them attached to the heads, but that seems like a whole lot of extra stuff you're buying. You don't need to buy a new head every time you need a new needle. So I place this, this is okay, this guy's no good. I slide him out, actually I'm going to unscrew the arm, then I slide out just the stylus, slide this stylus out, slide this stylus in, re-screw to the, to the arm, and it's that quick. My gig, nobody noticed."
