Replacement stylus

[Mitch Dunham]

I have an older Grado cartridge on my turntable. It’s a gold gf3. I need a new stylus for it and am having an issue finding one. Wondering if anyone would know where I could get one, or any ideas of what newer replacement stylus would work with my grado gold gf3 cartridge.

thanks in advance. I miss my albums

Genuine GRADO Signature MCZ Stylus (turntableneedles.com) Just a start

Thanks mkane, I broke down and ordered an 8MZ replacement. Hopefully will upgrade the sound of my current TT

I have an 8mz on my old P-Mount Grado ZF, and it sounds fan-friggen-tastic.

That makes me feel better Chi-T. It was considerably more than I wanted to spend. So the upgrade in the sound will make it worth it. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Hello again all. Just an update on my search. I got my replacement stylus, the Grado 8MZ. Definitely an upgrade to what I had! Just seems to open up the records. It seems to bring parts of the recording that were underneath the main melody more upfront. There’s just more music. It was definitely worth the extra money!!

Rad -- glad you're enjoying your records again!

Reviving my old Sota Sapphire w Premier MMT Arm. I have an original Grado 1B that hasn't ever been installed, what should I be looking out form in terms of aging problems other than my ears.
