I need a new stylus for my Onkyo CP-5000a turntable.When I tried to take the old one out the plastic bit broke? I don't want to damage anything further so I need to know how the rest of it comes off? Ive taken the small brass Phillips screw out from the back but it still wont budge? Any suggestions on what I should replace it with? My amplifier is a Sansui AU11000 with MC & MM I don't know much about turntables as you can see.

Id like to get the best sound out of this TT as possible,is there a better stylus I could get or is the cheap Audio Technia going to be OK?
take a look at here and pick...

In general, more you pay for the cartridge, the better it may sound, to some degree...I would stay away from very expensive mc cartridges, as you are new to cartridges and turntables. Selects some AT or Ortofon, I can give you a dozen good examples if you want. But I do not know what is available on the other side of the planet.

Why did you say that? The cartridge plugs in with the four pins and the stylus fits into that doesn't it? This has got me confused, have I broken a bit off from the stylus in the cartridge? From what I can make out the stylus is the original DN-35ST.

What are you on about,why the sarcasm? There's no need for that here on DIY,especially in this context where I'm just looking for some info.If you got it wrong so what,all you had to do was correct it instead of leaving me confused into thinking I might have to replace the whole cartridge.
