Thanks for the info and advice. I'm not sure where to start to find someone in Bulgaria to adjust the cantilever. I've been reading about upgrades for the Planar 3 and it will take some doing to get everything I need as I will have to source a spacer for the tonearm. I would love to improve the sound, perhaps I should expand my budget a bit, what does $500 buy that I can source in the EU/UK?
Bent the stylus on my Elyse 2 cartridge
Hi everyone.
While cleaning the base of my Rega P3, evidently I bumped the stylus. I thought I was being careful. Anyway I put on a record and there was an obvious problem. Examining the cartridge, the stylus was pointing straight down. My only option was to push it back in place. It may (or may not) now have bit more angle to it then photos on web. I played a test album and it sounds absolutely fine.
Thoughts? Is there a chance it will damage my records. The stylus is not replaceable on Rega cartridges and I living in Bulgaria gives me limited options to easily exchange or replace.
I'd be curious about upgrade recommendations for under $300. The Elyse 2 as mixed reviews but I have been happy with it.
Thanks in advance.
