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.
  1. Release the headshell from the tonearm.

    • Fix the tonearm with the clamp and then remove the headshell gently.
  2. 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.
