When I went to pick up the turntable, the installer went to play it for me. He had some trouble removing the stylus cover and was fooling around in that area for some time-eventually kneeling on the floor to see better. I couldn't see exactly, but I know he messed around with the stylus and/or cover for a good 2 minutes. Keep in mind the turntable setup and cartridge installation had already been done. It played after that but I wonder if some damage had not been done. It was weak on the left channel and thats why I went to clean it in the first place. I asked him about that but he said he removed the stylus cover but did not admit to anything else.
New Cartridge- Broke the Stylus
New to vinyl, bought a real nice Rega Planar II and listened for a couple weeks with the original R100 cartridge- enough to get hooked. I had the turntable checked, set up and had a new Ortofon 2M Blue put on.
I went to clean it with the supplied brush and tried to follow the diagram how to use it. I had no problems with the "LAST" brush that came with the turntable. The stylus broke off......
At least I got about 4 hours listening in. Now I am in addict mode waitng for a solution to play the great vinyl I scored recently. The store where I got the cartridge needs to check whether the stylus is replaceable- It doesn't look like it. Guess I will have to spring for a new stylus= $165.00
Any tips on cleaning?
