Lyra Titan: Stylus broken during shipping

Agree w Jrfech

I never saw mine get as dirty as the pic

If the stylus guard was on, and the packing secure the guy that put it in the box broke it. ...or you are dealing with a dishonest guy. There is no way to break a stylus with the guard intact.

Something is not right. I'd give the seller the opportunity to make it right, but I don't think that there is any way that this is shipping damage.

It's the responsibility of the seller and carrier to get the package to you in usable condition.

Audiofiel is absolutely, unequivocally correct. Check the Audiogon terms of service. If you don't get an immediate response from the seller, contact Audiogon and they will help you out. However, Audiofiel, shame on you for dredging up an 8 year old incident and web page. And yes, I have had some dealings w MSS/Joey and no it wasn't a perfect transaction. I understand that it shows that he might be a bit on the unsavory side. But remember that that report is not only irrelevant to his business practices, but only presents the police department's account of an arrest; there are often two or more sides to every story.
