Who says take care of your vinyl records, says clean them as well as the stylus of the phono cartridge. Good news, we have recently received new small cleaning accessories that allow you to take care of your favorite records and your stylus.
The Tonar Stylus Timer
Do you know that a stylus has a limited lifetime? Indeed, depending on the conditions of use (proper adjustment of the turntable, grooves of the record in good condition…) and the model of your phono cartridge, there will inevitably come a time when your stylus will begin to show signs of fatigue. However, it is always difficult to have an exact idea of the number of hours of listening done!
The brand Tonar offers a simple solution but efficient, the Stylus Timer. This small housing allows you to precisely know the using time of your stylus! In this way, it is possible to know that as you approach a certain number of listening hours, your stylus will probably start to get damaged and it may be time to replace the sylus, before it damages the grooves in the record. A small accessory, but very useful to take care of your records!
