How do I know when my Lyra Helikon is 'worn out' ?

Right now, it's about a year old and we've just really started to use it a lot (maybe 2 hours/day average).

Can I replace just the stylus?

Do I take it in to be microscopically examined or can I tell by the sound? (this would seem too slow on onset to notice).

Lastly...how many hours are these good for, assuming correctly cared for and not abused?

Thanks

Umm it's worn out now. Mine is to. We both need the new Titan.

Jonathon Carr has a few posts on Audioasylum in the vinyl section. (he's the maker/importer or something to that effect) Anyway, he makes a comment that says how you lower the stylus onto the record has a big impact on his cartridges life. Do a search there under jcarr I think...

PS...found the link for you
