Using the Audio - Technica AT - VM95SP/H combo kit is easy. First, make sure your turntable is turned off.

Once it's securely in place, turn on your turntable and gently lower the tonearm onto a 78 RPM mono record. You can switch between the left and right channels according to your needs, especially when archiving to get the best sound. When it comes to maintenance, keep the stylus clean. You can use a stylus brush to gently remove any dust or debris after each use. Also, store the cartridge in a dry and clean place. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you notice a decrease in sound quality, it might be time to replace the stylus with an AT - VMN95SP. Remember to always handle the cartridge with care to avoid any damage.
