Please. Reality check: 2 hours is 2 hours. Cart good for a thousand easy. Not to mention runout is zero signal, much less wear than playing music. So chill.
Is my Stylus damaged?
Ok, I realize this was a bone head thing to do. Because of a distraction I accidentally left my tone arm on a record, with the turntable on for about 2 hours. Yes, yes I know incredibly stupid, please no lectures. Have I damaged the Stylus? Should I toss it and buy a new one? It is a Hana ML.

I seriously doubt any damage done. Fully Manual TT: I tried some inexpensive after-market lifters, no success, then bought this excellent auto-lifter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HKX6WL7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 love it, however, you need room between the edge of the platter and edge of the arm mounting plate. Some TT like my JVC, many Denon's have a wide rim around the platter, reducing available space for placement. Some have enormous arm plates. It fit between my JVC TT81 Rim and my long arm's small base, but no room for it between my 9" arm's base and platter edge because the shorter arm hole is closer to the platter, reducing available space. |
