cartridges and styli

Stanton has been making history in the turntablist world with our industry standard setting cartridges for 59 years. Beginning with the release of the first ever microgroove phono cartridge in 1948 under the Pickering name (yep, that's us too), we have pioneered more stylus and cartridge technology than any other manufacturer to date. After over a half century of focus and tweaking, we bring you the finest line of Stanton cartridge models ever made. Infused with all of Stanton's world famous patents and groundbreaking technology, then designed with our edgy DJ style, you've got to get your hands on these needles to experience this level of quality. Without a tone arm, there is no turntable... without my STANTON needles, there is no ROC RAIDA.

Stanton cartridges are made in the U.S.A. using only the finest quality materials, like jewelry grade diamonds. See below how we carefully construct the styli that produce the best sound in the industry.

Stanton uses aircraft grade aluminum tubing unique to each cartridge model based on their application. Each Stanton damper is made up of special custom compounds of synthetic grade rubber based on the specific cartridge model. Alters the magnetic flux based on the movements of the stylus. Provides rigidity and stability to the assembly and determines application of needle. Stanton patented enclosure protects the stylus for extreme handling and will not dent cantilever during drops Cradles the whole stylus suspension system together. Stanton uses jewelry grade diamonds in their needles, which are less porous than commercial grade (commonly used in other manufacturers' cartridges), and produce better sound quality.

Ive been working with STANTON for years. STANTON needles are durable for recording and also scratching. I recommend them to all mobile DJs that are still using vinyl.

MADE IN THE U.S.A.

The first time I put a needle on a record as a DJ it was with a STANTON 500. From that moment I was hooked. It was the only needle I wanted touching my records.

Record groove affected by cue burn.

When tested head-to-head with our competitors' most popular needles, after only a few hours of back cue, you can actually hear the cue burn damage created by every cartridge... except Stanton's. Cue burn will kill the sound quality of your records, creating pops, clicks, and other sounds! Because Stanton uses polished jewelry grade diamonds our needles are known to lessen the effects of Cue burn and will preserve your records.

I have used many types of cartridges in the past, but I have to say STANTONs far surpass any other. They truly give a clean, warm sound and offer the most accurate output.
