I need a stylus/needle for a Sony PS-LX311 turntable. Can I use any other needle?

Question

As mentioned, I need a needle for a Sony PS-LX311. Is it possible to use a different needle for it?

Answer 1

Generally, no, unless you find an OEM cross ereplacement that it shares with something else. On another note, people generally chuck the whole cartridge. Why? Because buying a whole cartridge doesn't usually cost more than a bare needle, not to mention that carts do wear out. Plus, if it's the stock cartridge, you can do MUCH better in the aftermarket with any 40$ and up 1/2" headshell or P-mount cart. Yours looks to be the more common 1/2"
