Snapped off my cantilever

Someone in my house snapped the cantilever off my Clearaudio Stradivari. I am so upset, it had about 200 hours on it and it sounded just wonderful. I think I am going to purchase another one if I can, but I am open to suggestions. Here is my system. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Talked with my dealer this morning and he told me that Clearaudio would give me 55% of the retail towards the purchase of a Stradivari V2 or anything else above that in the lineup! For me that s a nice deal since I purchased the original Stradivari at the end of the run at a discounted price. Might be an opportunity to move up to the de Vinci V2 at a price that doesn't sting quite so bad.

So that is the rule with Clearaudio cart trade in's...they give you 55% off the new one of the same model or higher model with the trade in ?
That sounds like a pretty good deal, unless the cart was practically new when you broke it. Get the De Vinci V2.

I don't know if that's the "rule" but I think I am going de Vinci V2!
