Using your Grado Prestige Red Cartridge is easy. First, make sure your turntable is set up correctly and powered off. Carefully install the cartridge according to your turntable's instructions, ensuring it's properly aligned. Set the tracking force to the recommended 1.5g for the best sound quality. When you're ready to listen, power on your turntable and gently place the tonearm on the record. As for maintenance, keep the cartridge clean. Use a soft, dry brush to remove any dust from the stylus after each use. Avoid touching the elliptical diamond tip with your fingers as the oils can damage it. Store the cartridge in a cool, dry place when not in use. If you notice any changes in sound quality, such as increased noise or distortion, it might be time to have the cartridge checked or replaced.
