How do I identify stylus wear? I have a student "lab" type microscope which shows hairy ant legs pretty well. But I have no idea what to look for on a stylus.
My catridge is Grado Gold.
Should I just change out the cartridge after N number of plays? I am guess I have no greater than 250 plays on the one that is mounted, and I have a brand new Grado Gold in the box if I need it.
Now that I have a helper the arciving is going pretty fast...

- Yes, it was badly worn, so I stopped using it. If I had owned a new stylus, - alaskahiatt 13:28:48 03/12/21 (0)
