Technics SL-D2

I just downloaded the manual for my Technics SL-D2.

I have had this turntable for a litle over a year and I have had some trouble with adjustments. But now I can set-it-up properly,

Thanks for the ability to download the manual.

cartridge

What should i look at paying for a new cartridge. I just picked up this turntable there is a cartridge in it but no needle in it

cartridge

What you pay for a new cartridge is dependent on many things as prices range from anywhere between $20 and $1,000 and up. The price you pay can depend on a great many factors. Is this a quality Turntable? Is your system one of high or lower quality. Are you an audiophile or an audio enthusiast? Perhaps you are just starting out with analogue sound. What is the condition of your record collection?
There are many brands and types of cartriges to consider. The types of needles (or styli) included with cartidges vary immensely in quality. You may hear the words conical, bi-radial, eliptical, hyper eliptical and shibata when describing stylus tips. At minimum, I would recommend an eliptical tip as they trace the record groove to a high degree of accuracy with minimal wear on the record. The tracking force should be no more than 2 grams. for such a cartridge, you should expect to pay $50 and up. However if stylus type is not a major concern to you, you can pick up a budget Audio technica cartidge with
conical tip for around $20.

Stylus

If it's still got the original cartridge in it just do a google search for 'Technics EPC-270C stylus' and several suppliers will show up

When I got this a few years ago I went on line for a manual and bought one from a source in USA so to download one for free is brilliant.
Thanks
