I did a bunch of shopping and found a wide range of prices, all the way up to $80 each. I decided to go with not quite the cheapest I could find, but close, to see if I could hear the difference. And I can, right off the bat. Absolutely worth it, and didn't break the bank. A note, these are actually Pfanstiehl needles, the Pfanstiehl model is 4606-DEG. I had read some not-so-flattering reviews of Pfanstiehl needles, but I think these are great. I'm listening to a wide mix, from classic jazz and bossa nova to modern house, rap, and heavy metal - they shine on all styles. I was excited about the needle brush (I'd never used one before) but found that it was weighted bizarrely and caused skipping, so I removed it (which was simple and required no tools). I'll be interested to see how long they hold up. Review: One Star - The stylus did not fit my Pickering cartridge and had to be returned. I am awaiting the refund. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008818RVW | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars (19) | | Date First Available | June 1, 2012 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 1.12 ounces | | Item model number | XV15 Micro | | Manufacturer | Electrosound | ## Images ![XV15 Micro Replacement Stylus (needle) for Pickering and Stanton Cartridges - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kdKf2W6nL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hi, is this compatible with a Pickering xv-15 1200E?

Should been five stars if the little brush was arrived in good conditions. Unfortunately some hairs was plyied backward and there is no way to fix them. Normally I keep off the brush for a better sound, so it is not a problem for me, but, pay attention, please... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/13241367-xv15-micro-replacement-stylus-needle-for-pickering-and-stanton-cartridges](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/13241367-xv15-micro-replacement-stylus-needle-for-pickering-and-stanton-cartridges) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
