cartridges


hi everyone. any one have any thoughts of 'grado cartridges'? I have one that I bought back in 1990. my grandkids were playing with my turntable and the stylus or needle broke off. is it cheaper to replace the needle or by a complete new one?

Grado TLZ was my first really "great" cartridge, back in the 80s.  I still have it but don't use it.  I thought there was something "special" about the cantilever and/or stylus.  Is there a modern day replacement assembly that preserves the excellent performance of an original?
On the plastic bodied Grados the stylus assembly is so easy to change there's no reason to do anything else unless Grado will offer you an update. Forget re-tipping by Soundsmith. Not applicable in this case.
