Enjoying spinning some sounds and wife shouts. So I turn down the volume and investigate. I get dragged out to tesco immediately. That's over 5hrs ago. Just came back into my room to discover the stylus is stuck in the run out groove and the platters still spinning. Whoops.
That's over 5hrs of stylus life lost - ortofon 2m bronze.
Let that be a lesson to you all !!!
That was a long trip to the shop lol... shouldn't do the tip much harm, although might need a clean. some folk run their carts in that way; wouldnt recommend it personally

Not necessarily. No modulations in the run out groove, so the stylus should have an easy time.

Well that's a relief I can tell you !.
.....We should all be wary of the demanding wife interrupting a blissful listening session. Dangerous... Dangerous lol !

If you can still hear the wife you're not playing it loud enough!:D

For that, you'd need an amp that went up to 12.
