millercarbon, I am not certain of your intended message. Are you disagreeing with me, in that you think the tonearm should be removed to install a cartridge? I've never ever even considered doing such a thing, but if I did, I would then be very worried about damaging the cantilever/stylus when re-installing the tonearm. That to me is even a greater opportunity for disaster. I am not rabid on this topic; it's surprising to me that others might routinely do what I never have thought of doing. Which is fine.
Should the Tone Arm be Removed When Installing Cartridge?
I have a Linn Sondek LP12 with an Ekos SE tone arm. I've been told that a proper installation of a cartridge requires that the tone arm be removed to ensure no harm comes to the bearings in the tone arm. Is that an accurate and legitimate concern for my Linn, or any turntable?
