The stylus is a consumable product. Normal wear occurs with use, and factors such as excessive tracking force, poor-quality records, or unstable turntable performance may accelerate wear. As the stylus tip wears, its radius of curvature increases, reducing its ability to accurately track high-frequency groove information. When audio detail diminishes—particularly in the treble range—and sound becomes increasingly dull, replacement is recommended. The AT3600L stylus is manufactured with over 50 years of cartridge expertise. As an entry-level model, it maintains high-quality materials: the cantilever is constructed from durable, precision-engineered components to ensure optimal rigidity and sound reproduction. Slight variations in appearance, color, or labeling may occur between production batches, but these do not affect functionality.
