Dead and made my cartridge die

1 Stars
Posted Saturday, June 17, 2006 by Doug Purchased the Gold stylus for my Signature 8MR that was working fine but lacked the highs of a nimble new stylus. Spent the $100 for the Gold on recommendations by Grado and The Needle Doctor. I very carefully changed the stylus and powered up my AR ES1, Anthem preamp, YBA Pasiion 300 and JMLabs Alto Utopia Be's. Dead. Dead. Dead. I replaced the old stylus. Still dead. I took it to The Analog Room in San Jose. Conclusion: Open coil. Dead. Now, I understand that stylus' are not returnable and it is anyone's guess if the stylus was the cause of the cartridge death or not. The bottom line is that I had to buy a new cartridge after I spent the $100 for a new stylus.

Draw your own conclusions.

By the way, I upgraded to a $850 Sheler 501 moving coil that totally rocks.

It would be nice to get a refund on the stylus, but I'm not holding my breath.
