Who's done it besides me ?


The worst thing you could do while playing some vinyl snap off the *&%$# cantilever yes I did it so pissed
So my table is a Clearaudio Performance DC with Clarify arm ,Talismann cartridge ,Outer Limit weight and HRS record weight 
When to flip the record took everything off flip the record then put HRS back on when to put on the Outer Limit on and SNAP caught it with the side of my pinky I guess boron cantilever are really brittle can't find it any where accept a few shards I'm allways so careful I keep the guard and dust cover on when not using it 
So if you have totaled your cartridge how did you do it and did you replace it retip it upgraded it or down graded it like to hear your stories and you can see my rig in virtual systems 
Time to take a deep breath and pour a bourbon and no I didn't have one before LOL

Enjoy your music

millercarbon went by the one you had listed the Koetsu black goldline  What is the reason that you painted the cartridge with total contact
tubehead120 I had no problem with the sound of my turntable really loved the sound of it my musical surroundings nova II is very flexible the problem I have is that I broke the @#$% cantilever off  and I'm most likely going to replace it with the same cartridge 
Wow just a handful I thought it would be in the hundreds if not thousands or are people embarrassed to admit that they have done it too
I still have not made the decision on the cartridge 

enjoy the music  

So today I made the decision on my new cartridge its not a Talismann  though about moving up the Clearaudio line but I'm leery about the long cantilevers 
On the recommendation Joey54 and Nick at Audio Connection I order the AMG Teatro 

Enjoy the Music
