I knocked the cantilever off of a Clearaudio Concerto V2.
After I heard a “pop” in the speakers, I looked at the cartridge with nothing protruding from it, and yelled like Walter Matthau in Grumpy Old Men when his precious “Green Hornet” fishing pole gets pulled into the ice hole.
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. 😉
