You KEPT "accidentally" hitting the headshell and knocking the tonearm to the left and the tonearm moved over the record like skipping rocks on a pond? Maybe a TT is not for you. It's a pretty delicate affair. I know this is harsh but I've been playing records for 50 years and I've never done what you describe as a regular occurance.
How can I tell if my stylus is damaged ??
hey folks,
I recently started using a TT, so I am new to the ins-n-outs of this specialized equipment. Unfortunately, I first placed my TT in an area where I accidentally kept hitting the headshell and knocking it to the left, where it would skip/slide over the vinyl itself, like skipping rocks on a pond (doh!)
Just wondering if y'all can help me figure out if I damaged the stylus or not (its a Shibata diamond on an Ortolan 2M Black MM).
Since I have started investing in some nice vinyl (Box Sets, Limited Editions, Beatles Mono, etc), the last thing I want to do is damage the expensive vinyl!!
Any suggestions to help me figure this out? Will I have to send it to a dealer to get confirmation one way or the other?
thanks!
