Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension
The question for Soundsmith would be are they going to warranty this or charge me for the repair. I'm not sure if they can get a Gyger S stylus. Remember, this is the stylus and cantilever of the Goldfinger. Elusive Disc's exchange charge for this... 
My thoughts on TT isolation methods.
@townsend-audio, I'm afraid that would be difficult to do. I do not even have 1/4" worth of room. If you look at my system page you will understand. As for the subwoofers, I have four of them and each one weighs almost $250 lb. That is a lot of ji... 
Best way to transport turntable to new home
Right millercarbon, since you are such a big hero, why don't you hop over to NC and do it for him?

No, just a dry brush. 
Put that in your pipe(s) and smoke it
The fist amendment has it's limits, can't yell fire in a crowded room. Anybody smell something smoking? 
Sean Connery has passed away :-(
The only 007 I'll ever watch. 
Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension
Those cantilevers that hang out in the open like that are asking for it for sure. jjss49, afraid not, but after the acid I took wears off I should have another look at that cantilever. Maybe the stylus will grow back.pindac, thanks and what I was ... 
Stylus stuck in groove
It would be debris in the sleeves. Very possible. I have had it happen with new records. 
Warm up time for record playing
@fsellet, you would be wise to discount everyone else's hearing. I am just trying to offer a reasonable and very factual reason for the OP's experience.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stapedius_muscle#:~:text=The%20stapedius%20is%20the%20smallest,... 
What are Your Favorite and Most hated Record Manufacturers
ebm, it is all right to hate companies that sell you crappy records. 
Your system quality vs. recording quality
1+ @mapman  A good system makes everything sound better. I listen to some very old Louis Armstrong stuff. By modern standards it is pretty poor but just listen to him play that horn. It is like the tarnish on an old photograph. It belongs there. I...

@lalitk do let us know how you like it. It looks like pretty standard construction, boron cantilever, stylus glued to the end just like the one I just lost:) Still waiting for a response from Elusive Disc.  
Stylus stuck in groove
!= cd318 If you watch where it is skipping you can usually find the culprit and scrape it off with a fingernail. Something falls on the record and you put it back in the cover, then into the collection where it sits under slight pressure for years... 
Some have called it "the ultimate component", your listening room?
@ whatjd, Yes, it is very important. Like jjss49 I designed my room when I built the house with acoustics in mind. I have much more uniform bass to start with. I did make one mistake and that was putting a window too close to the speaker on one si... 
Flat screen between speakers, again.
Tony, assuming the TV is directly in the middle between the speakers and there is some space between the main speakers and the TV you do not have to do anything. The TV is inside the important first or early reflection points. You may want to put ...
