Clean the stylus or not. The speed of the runout groove is slow so not that much distance would have been covered in two hours. It would be like less than two hours of regular play except that there are no ripples in the groove to cause wear.
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 use one of these https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT6006R-Safety-Raiser/dp/B07HKX6WL7/ref=asc_df_B07HKX6WL7/?tag... It is $100 less than the Little Fwend and it works fine with medium to low compliance cartridges. The only caveat with these is not forgetting to cock the device. If you forget the record will skip at that point forever. |
