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.
Dear @oregon : Ovbiously no cartridge can damage LPs if that cartridge is in good overall condition and playing under good cartridge/tonearm alignment and good cartridge parameters set up. So, don't worry about your Pearl cartridge.
