i hate when that happens, we've currently got a grace f9 ruby stylus that needs retipping, and you can't get them anywhere.My last cartridge was a Grado Gold. Unfortunately, my wife decided to do me a "favor" by dusting the turntable... and ended up pulling the tip off the needle. Of course, I was mad as hell. Anyway, since I'm more into CDs now, and wasn't using the turntable much then, I just packed it away. It still needs a cartridge.
This is a B&W photo of the turntable with stock moving coil cartridge. BTW, being a photographer, this was the first photo I ever sold. Had many after; not so much now.
Anyway, I'm not aware of a Denon DP-57F, I know of the L, and M models, but not "F". Can't even find it via Googe - "Denon DP-57F Turntable."
also, the denon is a DP51F, not 57, my mistake!
