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?

The stylus just has 4 years of specific stylus wear due to the alignment. It sounds better now, just go with it.
If it were aligned according to the jig 4 years ago, it would just now be worn based on that.

Try a Rega cart next replacement time. No alignment necessary.
