upgrade to an AT150MLX, try LPGear
Stylus bent - AT120E/T, Technics 1200
Bad day...
For a while now, I've been trying to find the source of sssssemblence and tracking issues in my setup. It's all very subtle so I would hit-and-miss make some change to VTF, anti-skate and arm height. My though all along was that it was a setup issue.
However, I was reading through some past threads and started to really focus on the cart itself. Wouldn't you know it... it seems the stylus is bent.

So first, I assume this is not fixable? Second, if it's not, what do I replace it with? The same? Upgrade the whole cart?
This is quite troubling as I have been looking at this for over a couple months never thinking it was a cart issue. I haven't played alot of records, but *sigh* I hope I haven't done any damage to my stuff...
Thoughts?
