What is the average lifespan of a phono cartridge?


I see ads for used cartridges stating that its barely broken in at 200 hours. How long will a stylus, cartridge etc last before something wears out and must be replaced/repaired? Thanks.

New phono cartridge is almost like new guitar strings. Unfortunately longer service makes sound more dull. In most cases I tend to keep it for 600 hours before purchasing or trading in to a new one.
