FAQs
Is this stylus compatible with any Reloop cartridge?
This stylus is specifically designed as a spare for Reloop Concorde DJ cartridges. Compatibility with other Reloop models or non-Reloop cartridges is not guaranteed.
How do I know when to replace the stylus?
Replace the stylus if you notice a degradation in sound quality, increased distortion, skipping on well-maintained records, or if the stylus tip appears visibly worn or damaged. Regular replacement, typically after 500-1000 hours of use depending on conditions, is recommended.
Can I use this stylus if my original stylus was a different color?
Yes, as long as your cartridge is a compatible Reloop Concorde model, the color of the stylus (e.g., blue, green, black) does not affect its functionality. The color variants are primarily for identification.
How should I clean the blue stylus?
Use a soft stylus brush. Gently brush from back to front ONLY. Avoid side-to-side or front-to-back brushing, as this can damage the cantilever and stylus.
What is the main advantage of the blue color?
The blue color serves as an identifier, helping users easily distinguish this stylus from other colors or models within their setup, which is useful for inventory and quick selection.
Where can I find the replacement stylus for my specific Reloop cartridge?
Consult your Reloop cartridge's user manual. It will specify the exact replacement stylus model or part number required for optimal performance and compatibility.
Troubleshooting
No sound or distorted audio
Ensure the stylus is correctly and securely seated in the cartridge. Check that the cartridge is properly mounted on the tonearm. Verify that the turntable, mixer, and amplifier are correctly connected and powered on.
Skipping or poor tracking
Check and adjust the tracking force according to your turntable's and cartridge's specifications. Ensure the record surface is clean and free from debris. Verify the stylus is clean and undamaged.
Stylus appears loose
Carefully re-seat the stylus into the cartridge, ensuring it clicks firmly into place. If it remains loose, the stylus may be damaged or incompatible; consider replacing it.
