Needles & Styli
Worn or even damaged needles cause sound distortion and a less sound quality. They also may damage the records. Of course the tone arm weight should be adjusted well. Diamond tipped needles (black tip) are longer durable than sapphire ones (clear tip). Terms "stylus" and "needle": While "stylus" is used with British English, "needle" is the US term. When looking in the categories for the needed stylus, please compare in advance with that one used in your jukebox these days.
