Many audiophiles replace their needle every 800 hours of playing time for the best quality. However, it may not be necessary to replace it that frequently. You may also have to change it if it ages due to excessive dirt or grime buildup on your records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For When choosing our favorite vinyl record players, we looked for ones that have solid audio quality, are an excellent value for their price, and have features that help them stand out from the crowd.
