Heck no!
Consider all the hours you have or will have. Consider in all those hours all the clicks or pops you might get. How meny records do you play in a row? Ever listen all day?
Hope this gives you some confidence. I, too, have done this, left my cartridge on all night (meticulas, but not perfect) more than once, with more than one cartridge.
Question- if I play records all day, stopping only to flip them, and clean the stylas, is this more prone to wear, and also, what are the best cleaning methods in addition to those (or that) described above?
