Snapped off my cantilever


Someone in my house snapped the cantilever off my Clearaudio Stradivari. I am so upset, it had about 200 hours on it and it sounded just wonderful. I think I am going to purchase another one if I can, but I am open to suggestions. Here is my system. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I truly hate when that happens! A true bummer!

Phono cantilevers are quite delicate and accidents happen. One of the true downsides.

Best to keep a spare of everything around so that when something nasty like that happens, the music can keep playing until replaced, repaired, whatever.

I think my kids and even my dog all know to stay clear of daddy's stereo gear...or else.

I think my wife even knows not to even think about cleaning my phono stuff, which goes against all her basic instincts.

Cats can be tougher as many well know (please, this is NOT an invite for more always poorly accepted cat jokes by the way).
