In Reply to: I think you should get at least 1000 hours out of any diamond stylus.... posted by John Elison on April 28, 2007 at 05:09:45:
but when you equate that to 1,500 lp's it sort of brings it back into perspective. I listen to approx6 lp's Monday to Friday so that's 30 per week. Looks like I should be looking to replace my stylus every 12 months. Would you get more out of the stylus if it is well looked after and your lp's are extremely clean. I am using an AT440Mla and do you know what life expectancy these stlii have?
