Fred,I realize that.
What I should clarify in a seperate post is that I can't always replace things like a stylus that costs $40 at exactly 800 hours or so.
Plus, as I've indicated, I had suspect something was up, some things I didn't notice until recently and not that I was looking for it per se but have begun to notice.
I'm poor as dirt and replaced the stylus as soon as I could afford to, and while I was at it, replaced the whole cart with sone that sonically speaking is more suited to my table.
Now I don't spin music every day, be it vinyl or CD for many reasons and non due to sound of my system. Just that I don't always think to and that can go on for 2-3 days at a time.
That said, I have been spinning vinyl even less so I figured the stylus that was on the Ortofon would last "longer" ie, how long it took to wear down than it would if I spun an LP per night 7 days a week at min.
When I replaced the stylus the first time on the Ortofon, I did so at what I thought was about the 800 or so hour mark (roughly a year's use I thought) and the guy who sold me the new tip said it was almost to the point of damaging my vinyl at that point. Times have been rough over the past year and a half or I'd have replaced it much sooner than I did.
Like I said, I had suspicions and now I know how far it may have actually gone.
