Are you talking needles or cartridges? Needles can really vary (even the same kind) as to when they need replacing. If things start to sound a little fuzzy chances are they need to be changed. Cartridges (you say you have Stantons?) can last quite a long time. It's not real often that a cartridge goes bad....but it does happen. I alway have a real nice magnifying lens to check the needles with. What works real good is like just the eye piece from an old microscope or old binoculars. You can get a REAL close up view with one of those.
Thge needle should look very uniform and have a good point on it. If it has any chips or you see that it's worn unevenly.....time to replace it.

You said you were using Stantons? If so, you can just replace the needle. Another way of testing if it's the needle or the cartridge is to swap needles (providing you're using 2 turntables).If the one that sounds bad is now the other turntable, it's your needle. If it's still the same turntable that sounds bad after swapping...it might be your cartridge. It could also be your cables or something in the mixer. Needles you will have to replace regularly. Cartridges,very seldom. A good cartridge can last years.....needles are a different story.
