That depends upon how much sonic degradation you can live with,,,

Under normal circumstances without the use of stylast, a stylus with as little as 500 hours already sound appreciably worse than brand new. The extreme high frequencies are the first thing to go as the tip's polish disappears.

So it is totally up to you. You may not be hurting your LP's by playing a stylus for 1000+ hours, but you will not be hearing the cartridge's true potential either.
