Lyra Titan: Stylus broken during shipping


Analog friends; I've a question.

I purchased a Titan i for the second arm on my tt. It's a dealer demo cartridge described as "best condition".

This one arrived yesterday:

Did anyone of you ever had a damage like this on transport? The cartridge was very well packed in original box with stylus guard. Btw. it was impossible to find the broken stylus in the box.

Thanks for sharing your experiences,
Marco

Dear all, started this thread just to get a technical answer whether this could be a transport damage and not for dealer bashing.

The dealer offered me to today to send back the system and I will receive a full refund. Really good service although he also not knows what could cause this damage.

It's a real shame with this nice system.

Best,
Marco
I am glad it worked out for you financially. Lyra's are great, you'll have to try another one soon :)
Thanks for sharing, glad to hear the dealer stepped up. Hard to know exactly where to place the blame but he obviously felt customer satisfaction was a priority.
