You have probably damaged your records. If a cartridge mistracks - the groove is permanently damaged.
You might want to change your moniker.
My AT150MLX Cartridge has been misaligned for 4 years
Hey Guys and Gals,
I recently spent the much needed time to realign my cartridge (I ordered the AVID Rega Protractor) to find out I was way off BUT my records still sounded great, it wasn't until the inner grooves on most records became an issue. After realigning the cartridge things are soooo much better but not perfect. Is it possible I damaged the cartridge? I also last week upgraded my tube in my C220. Any thoughts?
