Cartridge systems are essential components of turntables, designed to trace the grooves of a vinyl record. They consist of a stylus (diamond) and a mechanical transducer that converts groove vibrations into electrical signals. These signals are then passed to an amplifier and reproduced as audio. The quality of a cartridge strongly influences overall sound fidelity. Depending on the stylus profile and construction, systems may be optimised for DJ applications or audiophile HiFi playback.
DJ cartridge systems are engineered for club use, mixing, and scratching. They must be extremely robust and provide highly reliable groove tracking. Spherical styli are especially popular because they are shock-resistant and less prone to wear.
HiFi cartridge systems are designed for high-precision, detailed audio reproduction. Audiophile listeners typically prefer elliptical, Shibata, or MicroLine styli for their exceptional tracking accuracy.
DJ replacement styli are designed to withstand heavy use and high mechanical stress. Spherical designs are preferred due to their mechanical stability and resilience during back-cueing and scratching.
HiFi replacement styli are crafted for maximum sound fidelity. Advanced profiles such as elliptical, Shibata, or MicroLine enable extremely accurate groove contact and detailed audio reproduction.
Headshells act as the interface between tonearm and cartridge. They allow quick system changes, secure mounting and proper alignment, ensuring compatibility with both DJ and HiFi turntables.
