My Soundsmith Cartridge is a half year old now. Based on the last two cartridges I had and wore down to nubs I estimate you can get about 500 miles out of a stylus.
How old is your cartridge?
We read and hear about cartridges that are ancient that people are still using, and we read about others replacing their cartridge after a few years because the cartridge is spent.
How old is your cartridge that you use regularly?
I know one person still spinning a Shure V15 Type II Improved with a stylus that is probably about 30 years old. The cartridge itself was purchased by the guy new in the early 70’s.
My cartridge, a Linn Arkiv B, is 18 or 19 years old and it’s definitely tired by now.
Thanks all for responding!
