Lyra Titan: Stylus broken during shipping


Analog friends; I've a question.

I purchased a Titan i for the second arm on my tt. It's a dealer demo cartridge described as "best condition".

This one arrived yesterday:

Did anyone of you ever had a damage like this on transport? The cartridge was very well packed in original box with stylus guard. Btw. it was impossible to find the broken stylus in the box.

Thanks for sharing your experiences,
Marco

Did u see a pic before you bought it? Otherwise I think the other posters have a possible sequence of events, unless u accidently...

I had a skala(actually 2) and a helicon for years, I never saw mine get as dirty as the pic above! Wow...
I am glad it worked out for you financially. Lyra's are great, you'll have to try another one soon :)
