Best Buy customers often prefer the following products when searching for Audio Cartridges.

You might not think of your cartridge as a separate component, but it is. And while you can play vinyl without a cartridge, you can't play records without a stylus. It's the key piece of hardware that connects your turntable to your amplifier, and it's an important part of the playback chain. So when shopping for a new turntable, here are some cartridges to consider.

  2. Audio-Technica - Audio Technica VM530EN Elliptical Nude Stereo Cartridge - Orange - Front_Zoom

    Product Description

    The VM530EN is a top-end elliptical stylus cartridge in Audio-Technica’s new VM cartridge line – a line that harks back to A-T’s early days as a manufacturer primarily of high-end phono cartridges, while also incorporating today’s advanced technology.

The cartridge’s lightweight 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus reduces the execution mass of the vibration system, enabling fuller frequency reproduction and less tracking distortion than a bonded stylus. Includes mounting hardware. VM dual magnet cartridge with 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical nude stylus. Aluminum cantilever. Paratoroidal coils improve generating efficiency. Center shield plate between the left and right channels reduces crosstalk. Durable low-resonance polymer cartridge housing.

  11. Sumiko - Point No. 3 Low MC Phono Cartidge - Blue - Front_Zoom

    Model: Blue Point No. 3 Low
    SKU: 6626046

    Product Description

    The sonic presentation of Blue Point No. 3 harkens back to vintage Shure & Stanton MMs remembered for their smoothness. With our tried & true MC generator system, that smoothness is enhanced with the subtlety & nuance you’d expect from a Sumiko MC. First and foremost – and if ever the word were appropriate – Blue Point No. 3 assembles its sonic picture from the ground up with its oh-so buttery low-end response. Bass enthusiasts are in for a treat here. Full & warm yet defined & textured, the coziness of the bass will invite you right in. It doesn’t stop there, however. You can expect the similar lushness through the mids that remain decipherable, high-frequency attack & decay that’s simply sweet & airy.
