There is nothing wrong with your cartridge, there was nothing wrong before you messed with it. Once the stylus sits in the groove it centers and you'll all set. How can this damage your records? If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Bent Stylus- Clearaudio Virtuoso
I was about to put on a record and noticed my stylus was bent to the left (3 and 2 yr old). I bent it back a little with a tweezer. It's not completely centered, but it sounds fine. What should I do? I'm sure despite it sounding fine something is not right.
