Cautions
- This cartridge is a low-impedance-moving-coil type. Please use it with an MC low impedance step-up transformer or a head amplifier (MC input of PHONO) in order to connect it to a phono amplifier.
- When cleaning the stylus chip, use a brush without touching the coil or the wire and remove the dirty spots from the stylus chip. Never use any moist cleaners when cleaning the stylus chip. It will harm the glue and be the cause of damages. Also be sure to avoid using solvents such as alcohol or it can cause trouble such as chip skipping.
- Do not apply heat to the cartridge directly such as soldering the lead wire at the output terminal. It can cause trouble such as breakage of the wire.
- Use at a temperature from 20 C to 26 C. This cartridge will not perform as well as it is designed if it is used at a
- tempertaure out of the range. If the cartridge was stored in winter, make sure to take enough warm-up time until the
- room temperature fits in the range before using this cartridge.
- When cleaning this cartridge, please use a dry clean cloth. Be sure to avoid using solvents such as alcohol/thinner or moist cleaners.
- The included screws are made of steel for the sound quality and strength. The included washers are made of resin to make it spin in order to prevent over-tightening.
