it was a grado reference platinum that i was going to have retipped sooner than later, but it still was a shock...
holding the extreme phono stylus treatment case, and slipped, knowcked the plastic right into the stylus, and bent it straight up to the cartridge body. in my attempt to bend it back to normal, i snapped the thing clean off...
i have a replacement grado ref plat cart here that is brand new, so i will plug it in soon...
but you just cant beat these things up - gone are the days of cleaning the stylus with my fingers
the good ones are too expensive to be f*cking around like that...
+t's all 'round.
