A second one in the case isn't a precaution, it's standard equipment. And when both turntables are running at once, you need them in pairs anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo original stylus assemblies from Grado with a highly polished diamond in a brass bushing. Fit it, check the tracking force, carry on – the cartridge body stays on the headshell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this stylus for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor owners of a Grado DJ200i. Straight talk: it doesn't belong on the Prestige systems Green3, Red3 or Gold3, and it's not made for audiophile fine detail either – it's optimised for security in the groove, not ultimate resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsumable for people who actually use their gear. Two in the box isn't a marketing bundle, it's simply practical necessity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Replacement stylus assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits: Grado DJ200i\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylus: Highly polished diamond in a brass bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement: User-replaceable, no tools required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturing: Hand-assembled in Brooklyn, NY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat's included: 2 replacement stylus assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow quickly does a DJ stylus wear out?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsiderably faster than in home use. The reasons are the higher tracking force, backspinning the record and often also the condition of the vinyl. There's no fixed hour count, so check the stylus tip regularly and replace it as soon as the sound turns dull or distorted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I swap the stylus mid-set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, that's exactly the point of the pull-off assembly. The cartridge body stays on the headshell, so the geometry remains correct afterwards. Just double-check tracking force and anti-skate, then you're good to go – a matter of seconds during a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy Grado styli from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we source them through the official Swiss distributor rather than a marketplace full of copies.
