Home > Consumer Reviews > Stanton Trackmaster II RS Phono Cartridges (Pair)

Don't be fooled by the image you see of this product on Amazon.

Sure you get a pair of StantonTrackmaster II RS Phono Cartridges which are great in every respect.........What you don't get is the extra needles as displayed in the image of the product on Amazon.
Very misleading......
You also don't get the cartridges packaged in velvet, but rather they come in a see through case and the cartridges are suspended in the case by rather poor quality hard plastic which rattles in the case, as opposed to being securely packaged in velvet as displayed in the Amazon image.
Suffice to say as a result of the poor product packaging, I received my cartridges with chips to the silver paint work.........covers meant to protect the needles on the cartridges were loose inside the product packaging and the plastic product packaging was scratched and chipped in several places.

My advise would rather be to view this product and buy from a shop even if it costs a few $ more, that way at least you will be buying what you see unlike the misleading image of the product on Amazon.

Disappointed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought a pair of these cartridges only to find out that they didn't include needles. Normally, I wouldn't have a problem with that, but since they are advertised with needles (see picture above), I found this to be a problem. And like the previous reviewer said, the advertised version comes with a velvet interior which would provide better protection during shipment. But all I got was some hard plastic and cracked cartridges. I am now in the middle of fighting for a refund. Let the buyer beware.

the product brings the 2 cartridges but no extra needles
