Nad 533 - How to change a cartridge?

freshnessben · 15th September 2011, 07:55 PM

I have a Nad 533 turntable, and I want to replace the Goldring cartridge. However, I can't figure out how to remove the cartridge. Can anyone advise me? Thanks.

Hi.

Manual is at the above link, but its a standard Rega arm and mounting /
removing the cartridge is bog standard fare, checkout vinylengine.com .

You remove it by the bolts holding it in place, a new cartridge needs
bolting in position and correctly aligning see the above link again.

You of course need to remove and connect the 4 cartridge connectors.

rgds, sreten.

Hi, Thanks but my question is even more simple than that; how do I remove the tiny bolts holding the cartridge in place? I've tried tweezers, small pliers... they're not moving. Is there a trick to it? Thanks.

Hi,

I severely recommend getting someone who knows what they are doing to help you.
Being defeated by small nuts and bolts is not a good sign. No idea where you plan
to get your replacement cartridge from, perhaps get them to fit it.
