I chose one answer from the Shure site to re-post. A larger search of the site gives a similar answer regarding suspension hardening numerous times.

Whether or not Shure is correct may be open to debate, but to say "it doesn't say that" when it says exactly that is delusional.

"Explain why I've dozennns of original stylii (NOS), 70's on, that are fine/'as new' - sealed-cased/checked"

Checked? Checked how? Do you have a miniature durometer you check the suspensions with? Rather than suggesting Asylum members are spreading old wives tales, perhaps you don't want to imagine that your cartridges suspensions aren't all that they should be after so many years, even unopened. Then again, they could be fine, and I hope they are. But I'm going on the assumption that Shure, with multi-thousands of cartridges sold over the years, would have more expertise on the subject than you.

We're all free to do and believe what we choose to. I know that if I chose to use my Shure VST V again after all these years, I'd be buying a new Jico stylus with a fresh suspension, rather than a NOS "Official Shure Replacement Stylus" ebay offering which had been stored in somebody's attic for the last thirty years.
