Replacing the stylus requires careful handling. Follow these steps to install your new AUNA MC-Cartbridge replacement stylus:
- Matikan: Ensure your turntable is powered off and unplugged from the mains electricity to prevent accidental damage or injury.
- Secure Tonearm: Gently secure the tonearm in its rest position. If your turntable has a tonearm lock, engage it.

5. Pemeliharaan
Proper maintenance of your stylus is crucial for extending its lifespan and preserving the quality of your vinyl records.
- Pembersihan Stylus: Regularly clean the stylus tip to remove dust and debris. Use a soft stylus brush, brushing gently from back to front (the direction of play). Never brush from side to side or front to back, as this can damage the cantilever. Specialized stylus cleaning fluids can also be used sparingly according to their instructions.
- Topi pelindung: Always place the protective cap over the stylus when the turntable is not in use or when moving the tonearm to prevent accidental damage.
- Penggantian Stylus: Stylus tips wear out over time, typically after 500 to 1000 hours of playback, depending on the record condition and tracking force. Signs of wear include distorted sound, sibilance, or a dull sound. Replace the stylus promptly at the first signs of wear to protect your records from damage.
- Perawatan Rekam Medis: Keep your records clean. Dust and grime on records can accelerate stylus wear and degrade sound quality.
