Replacement Styli Cartridges
I own a cartridge with a replaceable stylus that I have enjoyed very much in the past (and which will, at this point, remain unnamed). Upon inquiry at a local dealer (reputed to be a analog "expert") regarding a source for a replacement stylus, he sniffed and said that no cartridge with a replaceable stylus costing more than $150 (for the cartridge and stylus) was worth buying. Anyone share or disagree with this viewpoint?
