This may be a strange request, :nutter: but I would like to "borrow" a stylus to test a cartridge.
I have a Stanton 680E that I need to buy a new stylus for, and can get one for about R280. However, the black plastic cartridge inner came half out of the silver metal outer body when I pulled off the cartridge connectors. I don't think the cartridge has been damaged, but need to be sure before I buy the stylus!
I will fit the cartridge to a standard SME type removable headshell, and visit any member who would be willing to slip on their stylus, attach the headshell to their tonearm and give it a quick spin. (I am not sure I like how that sounds!) :Ooooooh:
In any event, if the cartridge sounds right, I will go and buy my own stylus. :thumbs:
I am in Durbanville, Cape Town, but can travel.
