I broke my cantilever off! A Denon DL-103S with ~25 hours on it! I hit it with my knuckle (finger) and it bent straight down and to the left. I tried to get it back in position and it just fell off. Tell me I'm not the only klutz with cartridges! $250 wasted! Can anyone beat that? I dont drink..what should I do to feel better?
I broke the cantilever off a Sumiko Blue Point Special whle mounting it., The seller took pity on me and sold me a replacement cheap. Guess what I did next. You have my sympathy. Nobody ever said vinyl was especially easy or convenient. But it sure beats the alternatives!
Don't feel bad, at least it was an accident. Out of curiosity, I removed the stylus assembly from a Grado cartridge and a bunch of fibrous grey stuff came out with it - total loss.
