AT 225 EP help!

[Switchblade]

I picked up a nice condition Pioneer PL-45D turntable and it has an Audio Technica 225 EP cartridge installed. I imagine it needs a stylus replacement just for safety but I'm not familiar at all with this cartridge. Is it worth getting a new stylus for it? :scratch2:

It it a VS225EP? If so, it is a good p-mount cartridge with several options for a new stylus.

Yes, that's it! I'm sorry I forgot the VS letters. I couldn't find anything doing a search on it.

This is the original stylus:

You can see the other options at the bottom of the page, from a cheap conical to a pricey linear contact.
I own several of this style of AT p-mount cartridge, with a variety of stylii, and like them very much.

Thanks very much!
