  • The time for the stylus replacement JN-P500 varies depending on how often and how it is used.  For general use at home the expected time is between 150-200 hours which by then the stylus will begin to wear and the tone quality starts to deteriorate. It is recommend to replace the stylus as early as possible so you can enjoy clear music  and cause no damage to the disc grooves.
