The setup process for Taruya cartridges is the same as for other brands. Please watch the video below where the CEO, who is also the developer of Taruya cartridges, gives a detailed explanation of the cartridge setup.
How to set up Taruya cartridges.

The recommended tracking force for Taruya cartridges is between 3.5 grams and 4.0 grams.

We do not specifically provide the lifespan or expected usage duration of styluses. This is because the lifespan of a stylus varies depending on the user’s play style. Intense scratch play, for example, significantly shortens the lifespan. On the other hand, if you occasionally play records for leisurely listening, the stylus may last for more than five years. However, it’s essential to recognize that styluses are consumable items. When the sound quality becomes less sharp during record playback, it’s time to replace the stylus. We recommend replacing the stylus periodically as a guideline.

(For reference, some other cartridge manufacturers generally state that the lifespan of a synthetic diamond stylus is approximately 150 to 200 hours.)

The choice of Taruya cartridge depends on whether you are into hard scratching or not. The 01M Red Cartridge and the 05M-2 New Black Cartridge are not suitable for intense scratching, but they work well for simple scratching. If you primarily mix at home and want a versatile option, I recommend the 01M Red cartridge and the 05M-2 New Black cartridge. If you're a professional DJ and want to minimize cartridge skips during scratching or live performances, I recommend the 03M White cartridge, the 08M Black cartridge, and the 01M-S Blue cartridge.

The FPC07M Silver cartridge is designed specifically to read the control signal of DVS control vinyl. However, it can also be used for playing regular analog records. Keep in mind that compared to Taruya's other products designed exclusively for regular analog records, the sound quality may be inferior.
