Having jumped into the vinyl world again in the last two years, I am a little rusty on things I used to do with my TT back in the 70s and 80s.

Replacement styli--I have this great cartridge and starting looking at replacement styli. WOW-it really costs around $70-$80!? Do you folks just buy a complete backup cartridge or what?

Curious

  Of course, I still buy just plain styli.
  To me, cartridges are like smack. Trying different cartridges and different cartridge/stylus combos is highly addictive.

    Does that make a new styli more reasonable? Cause I need one or a new cart. Fingernails and ME don't always play nice with microscopic cantalivers.
