Using this turntable stylus is easy. First, make sure your turntable is turned off. Gently remove the old stylus if there is one. Then, carefully insert this new elliptical diamond stylus into the appropriate slot on your turntable. Once it's in place, you can turn on your turntable and start enjoying your music. When it comes to maintenance, try to keep the stylus clean. You can use a soft, dry brush to remove any dust or debris after each use. Avoid touching the stylus with your fingers as the oils on your skin can damage it. Also, store your turntable in a cool, dry place when not in use. And if you notice any issues with the sound quality, it might be time to check the stylus for wear and tear.
