Replacing the stylus
Using a record stylus wears it down, which could cause
the sound quality to worsen and possibly damage
records. Replace the stylus with a replacement stylus
specified by TEAC as early as possible. In general, you
should replace a sapphire stylus for LP and EP records
after about 50 hours of use and a diamond stylus for SP
records after about every 100 hours.
