Stylus Maximus Solution

Know exactly when it’s time to replace your stylus.

Vinyl lovers know the importance of a good stylus.
It’s the tiny component responsible for turning the grooves of your records into music.

But like any precision tool, a stylus wears out over time. When it does, sound quality drops—and worse, a worn stylus can permanently damage your records.

The problem is simple:
Nobody really knows how long their stylus has been used.

The Problem with Tracking Stylus Life

Most cartridge manufacturers recommend replacing your stylus somewhere between 500 and 1000 hours of listening.

That sounds simple—until you try to track it.

Vinyl listeners typically try one of these approaches:

Guessing

Many people simply replace their stylus when they think it’s time.

But this usually leads to one of two outcomes:

• Replacing a stylus too early, wasting money
• Replacing it too late, risking record damage

Neither is ideal.

Manual Logging

Some enthusiasts try to track listening time manually.

This might mean:

  • Keeping a notebook

  • Using a spreadsheet

  • Running a phone timer during listening sessions

  • Logging every record side played

In reality, this quickly becomes tedious and impractical.
Eventually most people stop tracking.

Phone Apps and Timers

Apps exist that attempt to track stylus life, but they still require you to remember to start and stop a timer every time you listen.

Miss a session and the data is wrong.
Forget to stop the timer and the numbers become meaningless.

The Result

Most vinyl listeners end up with no reliable idea how many hours are on their stylus.

Which means they are constantly wondering:

  • Is my stylus still good?

  • Am I risking my records?

  • Did I replace it too soon last time?

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.
