After a 6 pack of IPAs, I tried to clean a small tuft of dust off of my stylus with a can compressed air with the small tube still connected to the can of compressed air. I thought it would work best if I pointed the contraption of doom right at the stylus. You guessed it. The tube went flying out like a dart and took the stylus clean off. $900 down the drain. Lesson learned. Drunk maintenance generally does not work out.
Costliest Brainfart
Yep.
I had one today.
While reorganizing my audio rack, with my TT still pretty on top, I decided I just had to level it just right. And to make this happen, I decided I just had to place a block of wood under the spikes. And since the block was fairly thick I just had to keep lifting the front higher and higher. And higher.
The table slid right off the back and came crashing down onto the floor. Moerch UP4 arm, bent. Karat 17d3 stylus, cocked to the side. The table itself might be salvageable, but I was so disgusted with myself I didn’t bother looking.
A 2K+ brain fart.
Who needs vinyl anyway!
Please list your mishaps if for no other reason than to make me feel a bit better. 😉
