What is a typical life span of a stylus or cartrid

Thanks everyone for your input.

The Pro-ject table a good choice for someone getting abck into Vinyl?

I wouldn't mind spending the extra for a better table within reason. I can go as high as 650 for a new table.

Thanks again everyone

Thanks for the response. I haven't owned a turntable since I was 19 years old, many moons ago lol. I am now 44 so a lot has changed since then I know.

The table I am looking at is the Pro-ject Debut 3 with acrylic platter and sumiko pearl cartridge installed. He is asking $595.00 I believe for it new or $70.00 off and take the demo.

Thank you

Yes he carries the Project Expresion 3. In comparison, is it upgradable? Meaning can I upgrade it with better stuff than the debut?

It has been a long time since I owned a turntable. the last one I had was a technics belt drive circa 1983. So the new gear I am new to it. So thank you for all the help.

He does not carry the rega line. There is another dealer that does. I will check out the price range on the Rega tables.

Thanks

Thanks again everyone. I will take in everything posted and think about which table I will buy.

I'm more confused now than ever lol.

Just to let all know, I thank you for your input. I did purchase the table. I saved some money and examined the table etc. It plays great and I am satisfied with it.
