Dudes, Dudettes ( not Dudiens, I had a girlfriend who actually researched the subject),
I tried to make it clear and simple- would a cheap cartridge that is properly set up and stylus is in good condition, damage a record?
But, then the "why on earthers" and the "of coursers" chime in with extracurricular views (which is OK and sort of cute. It's all done in good faith and I love ya'll).
To answer the question about "why on earth"? It's no bg deal. Lots of crazy people on earth have two of everything- 2 cars, 2 opinions, 2 arms, 2 speakers... Ain't no big thang.
Yes, I do have digital sources, actually, 2 of them!
But, when my wife say's she'd like to hear such and such an LP, I jump. So, I'll set up my Lenco in the living room which is her favorite because I rebuilt it and it's purrddee. And of course, that's my opening for getting ANOTHER turntable and speakers and...
Anyway, thanks guys and gals for reconfirming to me that I was correct in my thinking (I'd love to have 2 brains because I doubt the one I have is working properly), the cart won't damage my favorite Lawrence Welk collection as long as it's a cartridge in good standing.
Thank you. Thank you. And thank you.
