OEM Quality BC95E + Headshell STRAIGHT Tonearm Plug~n~Spin Kit

The BC95E Straight Arm Plug-n-spin Kit is a well regarded and versatile solution for your empty straight type tonearm. You will receive a complete solution that is ready to fit most turntables with what is commonly known as a 'Straight-Japanese' tonearm. This type of tonearm is usually found in Japanese Imports like JVC, Sansui, & Kenwood. As pictured above this type of straight tonearm is not linear tracking but instead pivots from the gimble base at the right rear corner of the deck. The tonearm socket must be .320 inches in diameter, (see pictures) have four pins in the socket, and a single TOP mounted set screw that secures the head shell in the tonearm socket. The cartridge is made by Audio Technica & the headshell is a custom made for BLISS Needles. The cartridge and headshell come to you Pre-assembled, tested and aligned in USA. The needle depends on what you choose above.


After receiving your new Plug~n~Spin kit, in most cases all you have to do is plug it into the tonearm, tighten down the headshell thumbscrew and adjust the tracking.

How do I adjust tracking pressure and anti skate?
If you are lucky enough to have these two adjustments, move tracking force counter weight until the needle hovers perfectly balanced above the record. Now rotate the dial with numbers (not the weight itself) to zero. (this is zero grams pressure on record) then rotate weight AND numbers together to the recommended tracking pressure for your needle. Then rotate anti skate to have a setting of equal value. Basically you want the least amount of needle pressure pushing down on the record as possible without it skipping or sounding bad. That will give you the longest life from your needle and records.

NOTE: Anti skate is adjusting side to side pressure WITHIN GROOVE of record. Tracking pressure is how hard the needle is pushing down inside the groove.


If your tonearm has a height-adjustable base, make sure the arm is parallel with the record surface.

Doc
I've gotta say I was going crazy trying to get a cartridge that would work right with my odd Denon DP-51F. I broke one trying to get it on, I thought I was going to have to get rid of the whole turntable at one point. I was hesitant to get a simple AT95 but the stylus makes all the difference. They know what they are doing here and I will never use another source when it comes to Turntable needs. Thank you.

Although I was a little surprised at the recommendation of this cartridge on a very light, straight arm tonearm, it has shown itself to be well suited for this application. The turntable is a re-branded (Baycrest Plus)Hitachi H50S, and I was first impressed that Turntableneedles had it listed in their database. I have found the as delivered product to be a perfect fit,and has only gotten better with additional play hours. The AT95E is worthy of all the accolades it receives, being an over-achieving cartridge for relatively little money. You cannot go wrong with this cartridge, or Turntableneedles.

Great Product
We have a an old but excellent Denon turntable, whose needle had bit the dust. This was an excellent plug compatible solution and now we can listen to our extensive vinyl collection. Very happy.

Perfect!!
I purchased an early seventies Marantz receiver and a TT at a garage sale ten or so years ago at a nearly giveaway price. Once I finally got my system set up and running I decided to upgrade the needle for a better overall sound experience. After researching several sites I found the best selection on turntableneedles.com. Since I had little experience with my new equipment, I needed to rely on the experts on this site. I took their advice and bought the recommended kit to replace my old worn out stylus. All I can say is that the sound from my turntable is no less than amazing and I owe a big thanks to turntableneedles.com for leading me in the right direction. Now, I look forward to many, many years of high quality listening to my old vinyl collection. The physical fit, and the sound fit were perfect!!

Needle
Packaging was 1st class. Fit of cartridge was perfect. plays wonderful. Only problem im having is the arm drops outside the record so i have to pick it up and set it down by hand. I don't think it's the needle.

Great needle
The photograph of the needle was great confirmation that I was getting the correct replacement. This needle was a bit more expensive than others listed, but it was the one that I was most confident would work. Absolutely satisfied.

Diamond Needle
This needle fit right on my Denon 52 turntable arm with no problem. Just be careful removing the item as the blue casing may pop off but it can easily be put back on. The sound of my albums instantly improved. Just use a good album cleaner in conjunction with this needle. I may buy another Japanese Straight Tonearm as I play and tape many albums and I think those has about 1500 hours of play. Buy with confidence.

Success!
This was the solution for getting my 1980’s-era turntable working again. I didn’t want to spend the money to replace it with a quality used turntable nor go the cheap route for an inferior new turntable when I wasn’t sure how much I would really play my old records. It was easy to find the right cartridge, my few questions were answered promptly and it arrived within a few days. It was very easy to install and works like a charm.
