I have a NAD-555 with a goldring electra styli thats worn out. What should I replace it with? At a resonable price 20-50 bucks maybe? System background - NAD is hooked to a NAD preamp i think a PP-2 to a Denon AVR-982 then out to 4 RBH MC6 speakers a RBH MC414 center and a TS10AP subwoofer Thanks for any info....... |

You can get a new stylus for that cartridge without having to replace the entire cartridge. Your dealer should be able to help you with this. If they can't, try here -

I don't know how easy they are to change. I'd definitely go through a dealer if possible, as they'll know how to change it and align it. |

If the cartridge has been properly aligned and the tonearm balanced, you don't have to do any new procedure if you only replace the stylus. A new cartridge will require a new set up. Unless you've been unhappy with the existing cartridge, I would just replace the stylus. At less than $50 you won't find anything better and may easily find something worse.

Thanks yea the cartridge is fine I just need the stylus and didn't know if there were different options for stylus for this cartridge. I'm just getting back into vinyl after a couple of decades. I fell asleep at the wheel and left a record playing at the end for a few days reducing my stylus down to a nub. duh.... |
