I have a lot of vinyl LPs that I like to play on my Pioneer PL-990 turntable for nostalgic reasons. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that the stylus might have been damaged in transit; although I had taped it down, the tone arm had come out of its moorings and was lying free on the plate. I have no way of testing it since everything else is still packed away in cartons waiting for our move to the coast in 3 months time. We are renting at present.
Can someone please help me to find a replacement cartridge? There are some available on-line but I am not sure which are good and which ones to avoid.
