Don't do this....

[Fishoz]

Up late last nite, cleaning vinyl and listening. Started to sound like I had a dirty stylus so around 1:00am I decided to pull the cartridge to take a look. Something gunked it pretty good (probably cat hair) so I took the handy canned air and gave it a shot....oops, blew my AT 13ea out of my hand and against the wall. Needless to say it is now junk. What a dumb ass!

Next time, put the headshell in a vise. Seriously, it sounds like a stunt I might well have pulled.

If you lose the stylus you can tell 'em it's body jewelry.
