Jensen JTA-230 Cartridge/Needle Replacement

Introduction

The record player is a device used to play music out loud using records. The process by which the device creates sounds is very simple. The record is placed on a turntable, and is continuously rotated. While this happens, a stylus senses grooves cut into the record. This creates vibrations which are in turn converted into electrical signals, and then into audible sound. The replacement of the cartridge and needle is one of the easier pieces to replace. In addition, no specific tools are reacquired to fix the issue.
