4. Istruzioni per l'installazione
Replacing the stylus requires careful handling. Follow these steps to install your new AUNA MC-Cartbridge replacement stylus:
- Spegni: Ensure your turntable is powered off and unplugged from the mains electricity to prevent accidental damage or injury.
- Braccio di sicurezza: Gently secure the tonearm in its rest position. If your turntable has a tonearm lock, engage it.
- Rimuovere il vecchio stilo: Carefully grasp the old stylus assembly (the colored part at the front of the cartridge) between your thumb and forefinger. Pull it gently downwards and forwards, away from the cartridge body, until it detaches. Avoid touching the cantilever or the stylus tip.
- Unpack New Stylus: Remove the new AUNA MC-Cartbridge replacement stylus from its packaging. Keep the protective cap on the stylus tip until just before installation.
- Installa nuovo stilo: Align the new stylus assembly with the cartridge body. Gently push it upwards and backwards into the cartridge until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is fully seated and flush with the cartridge body.
- Rimuovere il cappuccio protettivo: Carefully remove the protective cap from the stylus tip. Store it in a safe place for future use.
- Controllare l'allineamento: Visually inspect the stylus to ensure it is straight and properly aligned within the cartridge.
- Riproduzione di prova: Plug in and power on your turntable. Carefully place a record on the platter and test the playback to confirm proper installation and sound output.

5. Manutenzione
Proper maintenance of your stylus is crucial for extending its lifespan and preserving the quality of your vinyl records.
- Pulizia dello stilo: 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.
- Cappuccio protettivo: Always place the protective cap over the stylus when the turntable is not in use or when moving the tonearm to prevent accidental damage.
- Sostituzione dello stilo: 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.
- Cura dei documenti: Keep your records clean. Dust and grime on records can accelerate stylus wear and degrade sound quality.
