I have had this problem, so I thought it was a legitimate question. Next time I am going to take a photo of my cart while a record is playing and use it for comparison when I wonder about damage. Glad things seem to be fine but wish you would have changed "furntable" to "funtable" instead of "turntable".
My wife touched my turntable - help please
Last night with friends over and me exhausted a minor accident occured. The record had finished while I was checking on the kids and my wife lifted up the arm on my turntable by hand(Audiomeca romance tonearm and table, benz ruby 2 cartridge) ie without using the lifting mechanism. I have examined the cartridge and the stylus seems centered but perhaps a little less angled than before (when the stylus is on the record the body seems lower down though not touching the record - though I have not tried it on a more warped record). I suspect she may have put a bit of downward pressure on it. I hope this explains what I think happened. Short of retipping, my temptation is to just leave it be but comments from vinyl pros would really be welcome. Does one always go through the manufacturer to retip if this should ever need to be done. Please no harrassing regarding my wife, she meant well. Thanks in advance.
