I think I screwed up 😬☹️
Can't account for carts but in arm design part of the skill is making it robust enough to avoid such accidents and last 30 years or more. Many of the inelegant fussy designs don't do this. That's the failure of the designer. 'Finding' the broken Dynavector cantilever is an interesting one. If the cart was fixed into the box with the two fixing screws, how could it break? Either it was cracked but intact when put in the box or it was broken on opening or removal. |
Opening Up the Cartridges Packaging after Five Years Storage and discovering a Damaged Stylus will be a knock. At times of a unwanted discovery, where trying to find the cause, will be an endless recollection of the if's and but's, that will realise into becoming, just one more story to be entered into the annals of, I live for my Vinyl but doesn't that commitment cause periodic levels of unwanted discomfort. It is great news that when such a occurrence is met, there are services available to help one through these times. Again, these are stories to be told by many. In my case, on a not too regular used Belt Drive TT. I had offered a friend the loan of a Cartridge that was attached to the Tonearm in use on the TT. It took about a year for the friend to accept the offer as their own alternative investigations were nearing an end. After detaching the Cartridge and Placing it into the Packaging, I noticed the Aluminium Cantilever was quite bent. The Tonearm was always secured with a Wire Wrap Tie when not in use for a long period. There is nothing else known apart from damage having been witnessed. |
Paul, Call Musical Surroundings and ask how you can get the arm back to Clearaudio for repair. They are the US importer. http://www.musicalsurroundings.com/ |
