Raises the question as to whether it might be better ‘overall’ to concentrate on cheaper cartridges and more regularly replace the stylus, or, get a retip on a MC more often. Versus to get a very high quality cartridge and hang onto it for 1000 hours or more.
Which might go against the received wisdom of aiming at a nice £500-1000 MC as a minimum.
I am wondering…
High mileage luxury vs bread and butter and keep a fresh tip..
