Frequently asked questions
How does Stylus Maximus track listening time?
Stylus Maximus uses an internal motion sensor to detect the circular motion created when your turntable is spinning. When a record begins playing, the device automatically starts tracking time. When the record stops spinning, tracking stops as well.
No buttons, apps, or timers are required.
Does it work with any turntable?
Yes. Stylus Maximus works with virtually any turntable because it simply sits on top of the record like a standard record weight. As long as your turntable can use a record weight, Stylus Maximus will work.
Why is tracking stylus life important?
Stylus tips wear down with use. Once a stylus becomes worn, it can begin to damage the grooves of your records.
Most manufacturers recommend replacing a stylus somewhere between 500 and 1000 hours of listening, but without tracking, most listeners have no idea how much use their stylus has actually had.
Stylus Maximus removes that uncertainty.
Why not just use an app or timer?
Apps require you to manually start and stop a timer every time you listen to records.
In reality, people forget to do this consistently. Missing just a few listening sessions makes the tracking inaccurate.
Stylus Maximus tracks usage automatically, so the data is always reliable.
Does it replace a normal record weight?
Yes. Stylus Maximus functions as a record weight while also tracking listening time. It sits on the center spindle just like other record weights, helping keep the record flat while the stylus timer operates automatically.
How do I reset the timer when I install a new stylus?
You can reset the stylus lifetime through settings at any time.
