Where can I get a quad needle for my turntable?

[Reed]

Does anyone know where I can buy a new quad-friendly needle for my turntable?

Thanks!

I've had very good luck with:
http://www.lpgear.com/
The stylus arrived in 2 days.

I also think KAB would be good place to look, I don't have any experience with them personally.

Also can try:

If you want more that a needle, can try the Audio Technica AT440mla which
does work for CD-4.

I recently listened to a needle drop made with a Denon DL-160 and really loved it. It merged with my generated ambiance in a magical way, even in my horribly suboptimal setup.

The specs indicate it reaches 50 kHz, so it could be the best for both worlds, although its soundstaging might indicate some phasiness which may be suboptimal for SQ and QS.

Around 180 dollars.

Love your avatar, Reed!
