Snapped off my cantilever

given the choice of a 3rd party re-tip or an OEM factory re-tip, I would take the OEM...

After snapping my 6th AT-OC9 II needle, I am looking for other options myself. Luckily, the US AT distributor has let me trade in the broken one for a new one. Still it is a significant fee each time.

Worse, I am thinking about getting a Dennon DL-S1 which would be even more significant!

I truly hate when that happens! A true bummer!

Phono cantilevers are quite delicate and accidents happen. One of the true downsides.

Best to keep a spare of everything around so that when something nasty like that happens, the music can keep playing until replaced, repaired, whatever.

I think my kids and even my dog all know to stay clear of daddy's stereo gear...or else.

I think my wife even knows not to even think about cleaning my phono stuff, which goes against all her basic instincts.

Cats can be tougher as many well know (please, this is NOT an invite for more always poorly accepted cat jokes by the way).

Have you tried compact discs?

Compact Disks are old fashioned! This is the download era. ;)
