When should I replace the needle on my turntable? Verified

This depends on the needle but in general a needle will last 500-2000 playing hours, depending on the quality of the needle. When buying a second hand turntable, always replace the needle as a preventive measure. Not replacing the needle in time can lead to damage to the records.
