5. Special instructions
5.1 Maintenance
• Always keep the stylus tip clean. When dirt is allowed to build-up and records are played with a dirty or
clogged stylus, a „buzzing noise“ can be heard. Use a high quality cleaning brush or
Clearaudio
cleaning
fluid to clean the stylus tip. Be extremely careful and always brush only from the back to front.
• When using a liquid e.g. from
Clearaudio
or other organic cleaner, always take care not to spill any on
the cartridge body.
• Make sure the liquid will always contact only the stylus tip or boron cantilever.
• Before playing a record, please remove all dust and dirt from the record surface using a quality cleaning
device. For the best results, a record cleaning machine should be used. Ask your dealer for
Clearaudio´ s
Matrix-cleaning machines. (e.g.
Smart Matrix Professional, Double Matrix Professional Sonic
, cleaning
both sides of LP-record at once!)
•
Always avoid storing your cartridge near any objects using electrical transformers and motors, which may
generate magnetic fields. Any demagnetisation contact will result in a drop of output voltage and possible
case of distortion or degradation.
•
Every new generation
Clearaudio
MC cartridge consists of 8 very powerful magnets, the
Goldfinger
Statement
cartridge consists of 12 magnets (currently the most powerful magnets available in this size),
therefore use extreme care and not to use any steel or magnetic parts near the cartridge, which may be
attracted to it and possibly damage the stylus or boron cantilever.
• Please note:
Never disconnect your tonearm cable from your preamplifier, while your unit is still „ON“. Please switch
your preamplifier „OFF“, before starting to disconnect your tonearm connectors from the phono inputs of
your preamplifier.
