Product Information
Full details
The Soundlab Hi-Fi Stylus is designed for audio enthusiasts and vinyl collectors who use a classic Pickering V-15 cartridge setup. This replacement stylus provides a reliable and cost-effective way to restore audio clarity and tracking performance to vintage turntables. While it offers excellent value for general playback, users should note that it features a conical diamond tip, which is ideal for standard listening but may not offer the same high-frequency detail as elliptical or hyper-elliptical alternatives.

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Easy, tool-free installation
- High-quality Japanese manufacturing
- Cost-effective restoration for vintage cartridges
- Protective case included
Cons
- Conical tip lacks the detail of elliptical profiles
- Limited to specific Pickering V-15 cartridge compatibility

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your turntable is powered off and the tone arm is securely locked. Carefully pull the old stylus assembly forward and away from the cartridge body. Align the new Soundlab stylus with the mounting channel and press it gently until it clicks firmly into place. Compatibility is strictly limited to the Pickering V-15 cartridge. To maintain the life of the stylus, always keep your records clean with an anti-static brush and ensure your tracking force is set according to the manufacturer's recommended specifications for the V-15 cartridge, as improper weight can cause premature wear on the conical tip.
