14 best needles for yamaha cartridges
Needles for Yamaha cartridges are essential components used in turntable cartridges, particularly those manufactured by Yamaha. A turntable cartridge is a device mounted on the tonearm of a turntable, responsible for converting the grooves on a vinyl record into an electrical signal that can be amplified and played through speakers.
Yamaha, a well-known brand in the field of musical instruments and audio equipment, produces turntable cartridges designed for high-quality sound reproduction.These cartridges utilize stylus needles to read the grooves on vinyl records accurately.
The stylus needle is a small, pointed component at the end of the cartridge that physically touches the record's grooves. It's crucial for the needle to be in good condition to ensure the best sound quality and to preserve the life of your vinyl records.
When using a Yamaha turntable cartridge, it's important to periodically check and replace the needle to maintain optimal performance. The specific type of needle needed can vary depending on the model of the Yamaha cartridge. It's essential to match the correct needle type with the cartridge to ensure compatibility and proper functioning.
Regular maintenance and appropriate needle replacement can extend the life of your Yamaha cartridge and improve the overall listening experience when using a turntable for playing vinyl records.

Product description
Fluance's RT80 High Fidelity Turntable plays traditional LP and EP vinyl records with stunning quality that achieves the purest sound reproduction. When you want the absolute best in music performance, pull out your favorite 33 1/3 or 45 RPM records, hook up your sound system, drop the needle and immerse yourself in the Fluance RT80 Record Player. Your soul will be captivated by the crisp, smooth sounds of the music you love. Premium components allow this belt driven turntable to produce a pure uncompressed listening experience that recreates the performance the way the artist intended - whether you're playing a record from your father's vintage collection or a freshly pressed album.
Superior Stylus Makes for a Pure Analog Listening Experience
Your music will sound richer when the Audio Technica AT91 Stylus rests in the grooves of your favorite vinyl record at a mere 2.0 grams of tracking force. The included conical stylus is renowned for its freedom from noise and distortion, clarity on musical peaks and channel balance.
Smooth Playback Ideal for Long Listening Sessions
You'll experience every note thanks to the balanced and adjustable counterweight of the S-Type tonearm. The fluid movement of the bearings within the tonearm coupled with the advanced anti-skating system practically caresses your record, preventing scratching and ensuring the stylus is perfectly rested deep in your record's groove while splendidly coaxing the music out of your vinyl.
Designed for Serious Performance
The crafted wood cabinet reduces vibrations to ensure the stylus provides all of the signal. Sound isolation feet & an aluminum platter significantly reduce reverberation, leaving you with pure stereophonic sound.

User questions & answers
Question: | Will this sit comfortably on a 15" deep shelf |
Answer: | Sorry I did not read your question until now. It measures 16.5 inches end to end. The 12 inch description is probably referring to the grabbable length. |
Question: | Can you close the lid while playing records |
Answer: | The Bathtub rail can be used on fiberglass tubs. Use caution and do not over-tighten to prevent possible damage to the tub. PLEASE NOTE: This bathtub rail is designed to assist with balance and stability when entering and exiting the bathtub. It is NOT designed for full body weight lifting. |
Question: | Can you buy an attachment that allows you to stack more records to automatically drop and play |
Answer: | Thank you for your question. The clamp in order to be secured properly needs to sit on a flat surface. So I'd image the track from the sliding door would be an issue. In addition you'd be limited in using the door itself. |
Question: | Can I use my headphones instead of speakers |
Answer: | It's adjustable...no "cutting" needed. Made of steel. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this compatible with my yamaha p530 direct drive turntable |
Answer: | I installed mine in a fiberglass shower surround, and they are holding up well, but there are a few factors to consider. If you can find an area that doesn't sound hollow, it may have backing blocks behind it, or it may be an area that the manufacturer added extra material to. Those are the best spots to try to anchor to. If you attach it to any other area, you are only attaching to material that is about 1/8" thick. If you drill the holes small enough for the screws to get good grip, and don't overtighten them so that they strip the material they are threading into, then they may hold well for a long time. You can also add construction adhesive to hold the base plates to the fiberglass, and this will help. |
Question: | We have an older yamaha natural sound p-31 turntable, but the stylus isn't there anymore. would this work for it |
Answer: | I’m not really sure what you’re trying to ask. The nonslip pattern isn’t enough to hurt your hands. It’s not like sandpaper but it’s definitely better than having a non textured surface. |
Question: | Will this be compatible with my yamaha cg8300 cartridge which is installed in my yamaha p530 tt |
Answer: | Don’t know the size but they were too short so used longer ones from some I had on hand |
