If you ended up with some cartridges and you do exchange carts on your tonearms what is the most appropriate kind of storage for your carts not used at the time being?
If the cartridge has any rubber suspension parts or other compliant materials you must guard against the material from drying out. I have heard of one audiophile who keeps his spare cartridges in a humidor.
Right next to the cuban cigars BRF ? Great question Thuchan.
My NOS Empire 4000 DIII Gold was in storage for 30 years. It sounded great from hour one on the TT ? Go figure. But there was no more fluid in the bottle that it came with.
The humidor is a proper and cost effective device for the storage of multiple cartridges. Many can be found for under $25.00 US. Maintain 45% humidity. It is easy to use plastic dividers like they use for fishing lures and tackle. Hope this helps.
