Broken stylus - inexpensive solution?
Congrats on your TechnoDec purchase. Here's the replacement stylus at LP Gear: http://www.lpgear.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LG&Product_Code=GLDD012GX |
There isn't an inexpensive solution unless you buy a used piece of junk. Stylus replacements are usually painful. My favorite budget cartridge is a shure m97 for about $100. However, having owned that and the goldring, the goldring is worth the extra money. Only buy used if you trust that the seller has not put 1000 hours on it. |
Ah crap, I had a feeling this was going to be a costly repair... Now that I have to replace the stylus, is there a noticeable improvement between the styli for the 1012GX, 1022GX, or 1042? I assume the price difference between the various styli is between $50-$150. If performance improves, I just might opt to buy one of the more refined styli. That way, I can tell myself it was a moderate upgrade instead of a stupid, costly mistake. |
