Has any of you tried this for Cartridge break in


I unfortunately broke off the stylus of my cartridge. Mr Mehran has another on the way. My question is using a LP like On the Threshold of a Dream that has endless grooves at the end with music a good choice. I am going to try a ATMOS in place of my UNIverse on trial. Its going to be new and i want to get as much time on it as possible before i have to make a decision. Has any of you used this method for cartridge break in.
Also if any of you are using ATMOS let me no your thoughts.

I know most will want to know how this happened. For evacuation for Gustav i brought all of my system except my speakers. When we got back after a major cleanup i started putting my system back together. The turntable was last as its the most work. I had my Tri planar boxed with UNIverse still mounted. I installed the arm and noticed that the mono filament string that adjusts skating was off. Finding and replacing it i forgot to lock the arm down and the rest is history.

Stltrains,

Sorry to hear about your disaster, but glad for you that Gustav went too far west to effect you much. Now you're watching Ike. Tough season.

I agree with the other posters. The UNIverse and Atmos both sound great OOTB, and open up in a fairly short ~50 hours or so. Much quicker than some other carts, and they never sound ugly.

Just play music and enjoy the ride. It'll teach you something about your new cartridge. The Atmos really rocks. It's a great choice for your music and a bit less finicky about perfect setup than a UNIverse. Enjoy!
