Yes... I accidentally ripped of my stylus and broke the cantilever beam on my $5000 catridge... it was obviously expensive to replace... So I never try to play LP when I'm too tired or not 100% awake : (
I'm Very SCARED - Please advise, Cartridge Drop
I'm setting up a brand new Benz Ace Medium on a P3. As I was trying to measure Tracking Force on a digital scale I dropped (finger slipped off the "finger handle") the tonearm (stylus) onto the glass platter and the tonearm bounced up and down a couple of times.
Any cause for concern? The cart looks okay but I'm a little worried about "Pre-mature" wear on the cartridge's suspension.
I don't know much about design and was looking for a little re-assurment my new cart will still last its expected lifespan. So can cartridges handle this kind of abuse once in a while?
Thanks guys,
Bob
