Watch what you think you are buying!

This after research is a universal stylus for the 500 V3 cartridge , and is in no way in any resemblance of an original white stylus . Buy if you need an emergence stylus. I will not buy another of these , I prefer original parts or equipment, and think the description and picture are a blatant misr...

Produced distortion when used whereas the identical needle it replaced did not, all things being equal. Asking for a refund.

Wanted white stylus as shown received a black one didn't match my 2nd turntable stylus, but was happy to get a replacement.

Replacement stylus for Stanton 500 Mk II. Original Stanton/Gibson stylus supplied by Electronic Centre, make sure you buy from these guys to get the real deal. Sounds amazing, good enough to make digital copies from if you want.

The item delivered was actually the Stanton N500s. While this is a universal stylus that still fit my turntable's cartridge, the sound quality was atrocious. I ended up going back to the old stylus I had intended to replace.

Exactly what we needed as the only local option I could find had us buying the entire cartridge to replace just a worn out stylus. Will buy from here for as long as we need replacements and they keep selling 'em!

I don't know what that other guy was talking about this is a Stanton product. It's clearly made by Gibson the mother company. Plugged it in and I'm back in business...sounds great. I will buy again.

this replacement needle fit perfectly into my Stanton head. It is a replacement and the sound is as good as I used to have. I highly suggest getting this to make your vinyl sounding good.

Left channel did not work

Left channel did not work, had to return. Return was accepted and promptly refunded. I would avoid this product in the future.
