What is the average lifespan of a phono cartridge?


I see ads for used cartridges stating that its barely broken in at 200 hours. How long will a stylus, cartridge etc last before something wears out and must be replaced/repaired? Thanks.

Hard to say, because there are differences from Manufacturer to Manufacturer.
I had a - heavy - Takeda Miyabi which was still strong after 8 years or regular
use (a few times per week), had a Shelter which was down after 1.5 years.
