Gosh I have 2 turntables in my reference system and 1 in my secondary.
Thinking of getting one for the the system in the pool house. Not as nice as it sounds it is really just a shed, pool house sounds cooler.
Cartridges, Vinyl, Stylus, Turntable
Generally speaking, will a cheap, non-expensive cartridge (Sumiko Pearl, $120) damage an audiophile record? I’m concerned about wear and damage to a record. In this case, I’m not concerned about sound quality.
I ask this question because I have a high end system with a very expensive cartridge. Lots of pristine, audiophile LPs.
I plan to set up a less expensive system in another room which will get lots more activity. I do not want to buy an expensive cart.
Would playing precious records using an inexpensive cartridge damage a record?
Assuming the stylus is in good condition.
