The stylus is a wear item with a typical service life of approximately 300–400 hours. Normal wear may be accelerated by improper handling, excessive tracking force, use of low-quality records, or unstable turntable conditions. As the stylus tip wears and the radius of curvature increases, its ability to accurately track high-frequency groove information diminishes. When audio details decrease, high frequencies become less clear and sound quality becomes duller, indicating it may be time to replace the stylus. The stylus cantilever is made of high-quality material, enhancing durability and helping maintain consistent sound performance. Output voltage: 4.2 mV. Frequency response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz.
