TechPlay Gold, Pack of 2, Dimond Tipped Needle for Turntables (2Pack Gold). for up-Grade of Most Standard Supplied needels. Compataible with Most Victorola and Crosley

So I own a NuMark PT01 Touring suitcase turntable and I needed a new needle for it. Well first, I bought a ceramic needle, but I've been reading that diamond tipped needles may sound better and definitely last longer, so I got this set. The package doesn't come with a plastic "needle guard" like my ceramic needles did and that kind of sucks. For this much money they should have included that. Luckily I have two from the ceramic needle pack. Anyway, the sound is good on these, but I didn't notice a huge difference in sound from the ceramic needle. That's not the main reason I bought them though, I just want something that will last a long time and I'll find out if this is the case in the long run. They are easy to install, and I like the gold color better than the red of the ceramic needles. I'd pick these up if I were you, but maybe see if Amazon sells the needle guards and buy a couple to go along with these. I'll give it 4 stars for now. My last ceramic needles lasted about 8 months so I'll update this review in a year or more if the needle lasts longer than that. Peace in the Middle East!

I don't usually do amazon reviews but I felt obliged to after getting these as a replacement for our jensen player's default needle. SUPERB audio quality, no crappy interference or background noise, just great sound out of your vinyl collection. I have never heard audio like this coming out of our player before. Spend the $20 or whatever and make the jump, and since these are a 2 pack, if one goes bad after time you still have a backup. Will never buy ANYTHING for our player again, except these. Excellent audio and an excellent needle.

Noticed my old needle was going bad as my vinyl sounded extremely muddy and the highs weren't as bright. So I figured I'd try a more pricy needle this time around instead of buying the cheap ones at my local record store like I always did in the past. Man did this new needle open up a new world to me. The diamond tipped needle sounds fantastic and I'm never going back to using the cheap sapphire tipped needles. If you're worried your needle is going bad for your Jensen 460 this is a fantastic replacement needle to treat yourself to. You won't regret it.

Needles appear to be of good quality, but I haven't used them yet. I looked at the tip under a microscope and it only appears to have a few minor imperfections on the surface.

I love my new sound quality from the needle!I am going to buy again!

I ordered these because it came up as a related product to the Numark Groove Tool cartridge. They do not fit at all. These are no compatible with Numark GT. Now I can’t return them because I opened the packaging at a gig and I have no way to send them back.

Very happy with purchase. Definitely made a difference in sound quality!!

Easy to replace and sounds crispier
