Before online streaming capabilities and mp3s music existed. Before compact discs, cassette and reel to reel tapes music was already in full swing. Music was first provided to consumers in a personal use form through vinyl. It has been referred to as records, albums, 78s, and 45s. They were played on record players or turntables. The sound would not be possible if phonograph needles had not been invented.
A metal stylus or needle rides in grooves of vinyl records. Peaks and valleys are in the records grooves. They correspond with what was recorded. Through manipulation of magnets and electricity sounds are amplified through speakers. If one says that a speaker is the heart of music on turntables then phonograph needles are the soul.
The musical industry maintained the life of turntables. They began to be creatively used in the area of rap. Scratching and the simultaneous mixing of multiple songs were techniques that maintained their demand. The techniques have now crossed over into other music genres. The turntables used in these cases usually need cartridges.
Many owners of record players, original phonographs, and turntables possess them as antiques as well as collectors items. This puts turntable cartridges and turntable needles in an elite category with floats for carburetors and other supplies for antique cars.
The half life of music players has changed over the past century. Phonographs began to be sold in 1878. One hundred years later they were still the primary form of music player in the world. Ten years later it was being phased out for the portability of cassette tapes and the up and coming compact discs.
Vinyl will always be the standard for music. Like a slide rule to engineering calculations, Morse code to texting, and black and white to major motion pictures, records will always be the form that started it all.
There are shops which specialize in unique musical products like needles. There is not one standard needle that fits all. Every different type of turntable developed can require a different form of cartridge. In some situations inventories were purchased from manufacturers that stopped production of stereos and replacement parts. These are made available to consumers through various websites. Internet searches will provide lists of them.
Phonograph needles undoubtedly will maintain the link to the days of vinyl. It is possible the next forms of music could be in the form of neural telepathic downloads. These can be purchased with neural linked credit cards. One never knows.
