Cat jumped on turntable

Retipping KARAT is bad idea, all those people can do is to drop a huge amount of glue to fix the new tip, but look at the original Karat Ruby or Karat Diamond. Do you see any glue around the stylus tip ? Dyna cantilever is short and not available for retippers too.

If your stylus is damaged you’d be better with a new fully original cartridge. Karat series is not expensive and can be found under $700 (NOS)

Seriously, Soundsmith. Lederman is all over this like white on rice.

"Cats...the other white meat"

Cat tastes an awful lot like chicken 🐓 

Right. So my daughter is spending a year in China. My wife graciously agreed to keep her cat Maseo (Jane's Addiction). I can always replace the socks on my speakers but there is are two 6 thousand volt power supplies back there which I assure all of you, hurts. So my wife gets three of these electrified floor mats to stretch from one wall to the other in front of the system. The animal steps on it and gets a little zing which is supposed to keep him away right. We watched him step on it (we were watching Once Upon a Tine in Hollywood) think about it a second then walk right on an sit down! On the Mat! The cat likes it! Now the mats were on their lowest setting so Mr genius here turn them up to max and we'll see how the darn cat likes that.
Scarlson, just get a dust cover. Tell the wife her cat busted your $2000 cartridge so you need to get another one to replace it. Then take your dust cover off every two years or so:)
