Stanton Magnetics was founded in 1946 by Walter Stanton (Walter O. Stanton), the inventor of an easily interchangeable phonograph pen, who helped to create a consumer market for audio equipment. Stanton was one of the first American companies to manufacture and sell magnetic cassettes. Stanton's insertion pin allowed the user to replace the needle assembly on wear and tear instead of returning it to the factory. Audiophiles snatched them for home use and the invention became one of the foundations of phonograph cartridge design.
