How to replace the stylus on a Marantz TT5005 turntable record player.

[@eduardosaavedra5477]

Hello, is the needle you changed compatible with that turntable? how many hours of use? thank you

Yes, this is the standard style for this player. Most compatible replacements will have a diamond tip, which will typically last for 10,000 hours. Dirty or dusty records will wear out the stylus quicker, so keep them clean.

I've tried to do this, but when I've attached the replacement stylus on this exact record player, the new stylus seems too heavy for the record to play properly. Am I doing something wrong? Do you have any suggestions please?

The tracking weight (downward force) is fixed on this player. The weight could be checked with a stylus balance but you will not be able to adjust it, unfortunately.
