Regular stylus cleaning is essential for optimal sound quality and to prolong the life of your records and stylus.

• Use a dedicated stylus cleaning brush, brushing gently from back to front (never side-to-side or front-to-back).

• Inspect the stylus periodically for wear or damage. A worn stylus can damage records.

Headshell and Cartridge Care

Keep the headshell and cartridge free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe them clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

V2 Spindle Motor Oil Reapplication

The V2 Spindle Motor Oil provides long-lasting lubrication.
