Stylus DN 251 S
The stylus is subject to natural wear and tear during normal playing. Therefore, we
recommend you occasionally check the stylus and, in the case of diamond styli, this
should be carried out after approximately 300 playing hours. Worn or damaged
(splintered) styli chisel the modulation from the grooves and destroy records. There-
fore, only use the stylus types recommended in the technical data of the cartridge as
replacement cartridges. Imitated styli result in audible quality losses and increased
wear and tear of records. Pull off the stylus slanting downwards. Insert the stylus in
the reverse mode (Fig 6).
