Find the Right Needle for Your Record Player
Results appear below as you type. Use the arrow keys to move between them.
Rhythmly tells you which replacement needle fits your record player, by model, model code or part number. The needle, or stylus, is the tiny tip that rides in the groove. It sits in the cartridge, the small part at the end of the tonearm. We take every part number from the maker's own website, list the genuine replacement first, and show the upgrades the maker says fit the same cartridge. When a maker sells no replacement needle, we say so and show what it offers instead.

We take these details from the makers' own websites and check them carefully, but makers change parts and part numbers, and we may miss an update. Before you buy, check the part on the maker's official website. If you spot an error, please tell us.
