Will this work on my sl-d2 turntable?
I can not find a needle that fits my current cartridge... any suggestions would be great!!
Henry
Yes, it appears your listed turntable will accommodate a standard 1/2 inch mount cartridge. You may confirm with the turntable manufacturer.

The new Audio Technica turntable I just purchased comes with an ATN 95E stylis. (1) Is the 120EB/HSB combo compatible with my AT turntable LP120Pro and (2) if it is will this significantly improve the sound quality?
DPM
Yes, the AT120EB cartridge is an upgrade from the AT95E cartridge may be used on the AT-LP120-USB turntable.

If I buy this combo will I need to buy a needle as well?
Dan
Thank you for your inquiry. No the needle is the orange plastic piece. It is included with the cartridge. However, If you would like to purchase an extra needle you will need the ATN120EB.

Hi. I recently purchased a brand new Roland TT99 with an AT95ECD cartridge with on a Roland headshell. Does this combo kit fit the Roland TT99 tonearm? Thank you.
Jaejae
Thank you for your inquiry. Your headshell does take a half inch mount, which is what this cartridge is. Please note this is a low compliance cartridge which is best suited for tone arm with high tone arm mass. I cannot find any information about the effective tone arm mass for the turntable. You may need to ask Roland.

Hello, what is the average time of life of this cartridge/needle? I already got one and I'm about to use it but I thought it would be convenient to know that.
Thanks!

Thank you for your inquiry. The cartridge should last years. For the stylus it depends on several factors, especially the tracking force. You should get between 500 and 1000 hours on the stylus.

Does the cartridge come pre-aligned in the headshell or does it need to be adjusted once installed?
Evan
The cartridge should be pre-aligned. However, checking the alignment is an excellent approach before use. If you need assistance with aligning your cartridge, please visit the following link:
