Hello, Please do not put a claim on your home owner’s insurance for $2k. You will just give them an excuse to raise your rate prematurely. Not sure of the condition of the platter and plinth. If those are salvageable you can go back to the dealer and see what they can do for the arm and cartridge. Sometimes they have a trade in deal or maybe they will be really nice and give you a really good discount. Like $30%. As for the arm if you have to use that arm then get another. If you can choose an arm then get something you might really want like a Kuzma 4 point 11. I am really sorry this happened to you and I am sure one way or another we have all had our bad audio days.
Costliest Brainfart
Yep.
I had one today.
While reorganizing my audio rack, with my TT still pretty on top, I decided I just had to level it just right. And to make this happen, I decided I just had to place a block of wood under the spikes. And since the block was fairly thick I just had to keep lifting the front higher and higher. And higher.
The table slid right off the back and came crashing down onto the floor. Moerch UP4 arm, bent. Karat 17d3 stylus, cocked to the side. The table itself might be salvageable, but I was so disgusted with myself I didn’t bother looking.
A 2K+ brain fart.
Who needs vinyl anyway!
Please list your mishaps if for no other reason than to make me feel a bit better. 😉
