If this pandemic doesn't finally kill my cartridge, nothing will

It may kill you but save your cart for your succesor's.
An illustration of wishful thinking is tooblue's hope that
his Hana ML is as good as Miyabi standard. 
Even more curious is chakster's  question. 

Millercarbon’s response was truly a shot out of left field

Can you, and do you trust re-tip on your's?

I am also thinking about the high use of my new SAS stylus in my Shure V15vxmr body.

I am cleaning my old lps aggressively, listening to new dual arm turntable exclusively, AND, another issue: R2R tape player and CD gathering dust, grease turning to glue, .... 

Expected life of SAS tipped stylus ___________ hours??

New stylus for my MM body is under $200., and high output.

Any low output MC, non-replaceable stylus, to me, is similar to buying a Jaguar XJS, picking in-line 6 cylinder, or V12. V6 for me, god I miss that automobile. btw, in-line 6 beat the V12 off the line and quite a way down the road, V12 only winning at highly illegal speeds. 6 fast enough? my son took me for a ride in mine, newly paved highway, the fastest ride of my life: 140mp and the suspension, those wide tires, brakes, and he felt there was more to go if the straight away was longer. Prior to that, fastest ride was a truly scary ride at 110mph in a GTO, on a hard dirt road no less. 

@chakster , I absolutely love mine but it has gone dead in the left channel and it is no longer made.

@nandric , I do not own the Hana ML but have heard someone compare it to the Miyabi Standard that I do own and am just hoping for the best. Enjoy the music
