Hardy cartridge


Being a klutz, I keep destroying the stylus on my ADC XLM II. It is in a low mass Magnepan Unitrac in my 'B' system.
Thinking about all the abuse DJs give their styli. Is there anything rugged but decent sounding of highish compliance I might want?

@fstein - For the past 10+ years, I have been using a magic eraser to clean my stylus after every side.  Back to front although many say just up and down, gently for a Benz Ruby3.  Otherwise, I would recommend non-moving coil cartridges for you.   (I broke off a Dynavector XX1 cartridge back in the days because I literally had difficulty viewing the stylus/cantilver-it was hidden in the middle of the cartridge body).  

@wolfie62 - Why do you have sooo many cartridges and change them so oo frequently?  Is it to match each record?   Or are you obsessive-compulsive (no judgment made, just is a character trait).
