Have I ruined my stylus?


I left my turntable on with stylus ridng in the last groove for about 8 hours. Don't ask. I know this can't be good, but how bad is it?

consider it to be your normal stylus wear. if you have a diamond stylus you can scratch the match lightning surface and nothing will happen. it's realy more the cantilever issue to determine the cartridge wear.

i used to have 5 year-old benz glider worked with no problem, never damaged the records and sounded and probably still sounds great with tens of thousand hours on that.
