Carbon Fibre Stylus Brush
- Place the turntable arm onto its rest.
- Brush from the rear of the cantilever towards and over the stylus towards you.
- Repeat 3-4 times.
- NEVER brush in any other direction, as this could damage your stylus.
- For optimal performance, brush your stylus before playing each side of your vinyl.
Foldable Drying Stand
- Fold out the drying stand and place it on a flat, stable surface.
- Place wet records on the stand to completely dry before putting them back into the record sleeve.
