Shure Phonograph SA-10E User Guide

SPECIAL NOTE: The Dynetic stylus assembly used in Shure
cartridges is the most critical component. To maintain the
original prrforniance standards of your cartridge, be certain that
any replacement stylus you buy bears the following certification

on

the package: “This 15” stereo Dynetic stylus is precision

manufactured by Shure Brothers, Inc.
Avoid inferior imitations. They will seriously degrade the prr-

formance of your cartridge. All genuine “Dynetic” styli are
manufactured only by Shure Brothers, Inc.

The stylus assembly, when installed in the cartridge, is prac­tically immune to damage during normal usage. I-Iowever, care
should be taken to avoid bending or distorting the stylus assem­bly when it is installed or removed.
