Removing the stylus
- In addition to the deterioration of sound quality, records may also be damaged as the cartridge’s stylus tip wears down.
- As a rule of thumb, replace the stylus after 300 hours of use.
- Be sure to first turn off the power switch, and then disconnect the product’s AC adapter from the outlet.
- When replacing the stylus, hold the headshell and the cartridge body firmly.
-
Release the headshell from the tonearm.
- Fix the tonearm with the clamp and then remove the headshell gently.
-
After removing the cartridge’s protector, remove the stylus by pulling it in the direction of the arrow without touching the cantilever, stylus tip, or magnet.
