Using this turntable stylus is easy. Just gently place it on the turntable where it's supposed to go and start playing your records. When handling the stylus, be careful not to touch it with your fingers as the oils can affect its performance. Also, make sure to place it on the record surface gently to avoid any damage. For maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry place when not in use. You can use a soft brush to clean it every once in a while to remove any dust or debris. If you notice any loss in sound quality, it might be time to check the stylus for wear and consider a replacement.
