How One Can Effectively Change A Vinyl Needle

By Frances Green


According to some research, vinyl record players have increased in sales in modern times. This is because most of individuals today enjoy listening to the vinyl albums and therefore keeping these machines at top performance which is actually a wise thing to do.one of the most important component of these machines which demand regular replacement is actually the Vinyl Needle so as to ensure that it is functioning appropriately.

Another important part which requires to be replaced on a regular basis is cartilage whose function is to change all the mechanical sensations into electrical signal. The turntable drive which is normally a drive belt or at times a rubber idler wheel also needs to be changed.

But among this part, the part which is often replaced is the stylus since the friction which is normally created tends to result to more wear as it actually tracks in the groove of the record.

A chipped or basically a worn out stylus usually gives out a very bad sound since it cannot sit properly on the groove which in turn can damage the records. If you actually compare the earlier 78rpm records with the modern records you will probably notice that the earlier ones used a stylus which had a larger diameter than the modern vinyl.

Apart from the metal tip itself individuals are also advised to collect the needle nose pliers together with compressed air canister. Most of these compressed air options which are commonly known include maxell blast away air duster, 3M compressed air and endust compressed air duster among others. Basically the compressed air is not actually very vital especially when it comes to the process of replacement but this compressed air becomes a very useful component when it comes to tidying of the record machine before inserting a fresh metal tip.

Before you actually start the entire process of replacing the metal tip of such a machine it is always necessary to ensure that you have switched of all it components like the preamp. Once you have turned of these features you can now go ahead to locate the lock or the lever function on the players arm and then carefully remove it such that the arm is effectively released.

Before you do anything to your machine it becomes necessary if you first switch it off. You also need to switch off its speakers and any other particular feature such as the preamp. After you have successfully switched off these features now you need to locate any particular lock or even the lever function on the arm of the payer and then remove it so as to release the players arm.

The stylus is basically cone shaped although it has a smooth perfect end and lacks chipped or even flattened surfaces. One of the major advantages which is usually associated with the replacement of these needles is that most of the parts of these machines are labeled which makes it easier to know which part belongs where. Once you have successfully replaced the needle you are supposed to test this machine and make sure that it is on top level performance.
