78 RPM STYLUS FOR JENSEN JTA-380 JTA 380 JTA380 TURNTABLE
The 78 RPM stylus for the Jensen JTA-380 JTA 380 JTA380 turntable
features a 3.0 mil polished diamond designed specifically for the
correct tracing of the wide grooves of 78 RPM records. It results
in minimal groove wear and accurate rendition of voice and music.
A photo of the stylus replacement is
supplied above. The color of the stylus varies. Please verify
and use this as a guide only since the cartridge and stylus
may have been changed through the years.
A very common misconception is that you can use an LP stylus for playing 78 RPM records. This is one quick and sure way to damage the 78 RPM record grooves. To maintain the playback fidelity of your 78 record, you really need to use a stylus designed for 78 RPM records, otherwise with just a single playing, you could ruin the fidelity of the record grooves. Moreover, the LP stylus is much narrower than the 78 RPM record groove hence the tip will slide to the bottom of the groove where debris has collected for many decades. This results in extraordinarily high-surface noise.
If the stylus above differs from what you have, then it
means you no longer have the fitted cartridge. For us to
assist you further, we need the cartridge brand and model
number. This info is usually inscribed on the cartridge
and stylus.
