[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 861004, member: 144"] Also time for some education for me, being unfamiliar with MC cartridges: Can the styli or then the tips, be replaced at all like that of an MM model, or does one need to replace the whole (expensive!) cartridge when the stylus appears to have had its day?? If the latter - boy! - not for this pensioner! The difference in definition is simply not substantial enough (comparing to good MM cartridges). But to know when, I fear the normal audiophile may not have the equipment. The only sure way is a microscope capable of the necessary resolution - plus the know-how of course! Alternately: How many hi-fi agencies/shops are equipped to do this? [/QUOTE]
