Can a boron cantilever bend?

boron is a very light and stiff material, used as a stylus it is certainly within reason for it to break if used or cleaned in a rough manner. i'd like to think coming from the factory the quality control folks would catch something like this.

is the stylus straight but at an angle to the cartridge body? the stylus could be true and the suspension may be a bit off...not sure if its possible to "move it" back into place.

Dear friend: I can't give a direct answer to your question.

What I can do is to ask you: what kind of problems in the quality sound reproduction you already have with this cartridge ?

If you don't have any and that's means that the cartridge is having a good playing performance, then you don't have to worried about.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Boron is a type of gem stone, like a diamond, from what i understand, so bending is not something that is possible, so i would say that boron could break, but not bend.
