Bent Stylus....what to do?


Hey Fellas, I recently sustained some damage to my Grado Ref Stylus. Took it to the dealer and they highly recommended a new cartridge. The stylus was slightly bent inwards. Will this damage the LPs?. What happens if I don't replace the Stylus. I have not decided on what to do, yet....Would appreciate your input.

Grado retipping costs 2/3 of a new cartridge.Actually,you trade in the old one for a new one.Is the Grado still under warranty? Might want to give John Grado a call in NY and see what he says.He is real nice to talk to.
Kelly,thanks for the kind words.Im not sure if its common knowledge,but Joe invented the MC cartridge and either holds or held the patent on it.Just wondering if anyone knows why he never put out a MC cartridge himself but chose a moving iron design instead .No life lines allowed!
