What weight setting is specified for this cartridge? got manual?

According to the product information for the bare stylus on another store, the stylus is meant for 1.5-3.0g. Note that you WILL have to adjust the tracking weight, since this headshell is a bit heavier than some of the stock shells. In my case, the tracking weight ends up at 2.85g before adjustment. (My stock stylus tracks at 2.0g). So this headshell is 0.85g heavier than the Audio Technica shell that came with my table. I'm fine with that... it just means I have to dial the counterweight back to 1.15 when I mount this shell.

Will this work with a gemini d.j.q 1100 turntable for home listening?

Yes, it will work. However, if your original turntable does not have a pre-amp, you have to connect one before the main amp.

Will this fit a sony ps-lx250h?

No.However,the included stylus (at3600) will work with Sony ps-lx250h.

Will this work with sony ps-242 turntable

That’s the turn table I have and it worked
