If you ended up with some cartridges and you do exchange carts on your tonearms what is the most appropriate kind of storage for your carts not used at the time being?
Dear all, I learn there are two camps, one voting for humidity ( around 45 % ) and the other for keeping cartridge under an airtight condition. what effects does nitrogen have on carts?
I can only guess, but, nitrogen is a non-reactive gas, so it should be good for preserving cartridges. I think airtight should be good enough. The problem with exposure to the air comes from constantly introducing new reactive compounds (principally oxidants).
Brf - depends on the number of carts you are using. In my case with about 40 carts using on 12 arms installed on five TTs I sometimes change carts frequently and sometimes not. So we may talk about a storage box on the long run, maybe for up to 30 carts.
