Given that cartridges like this are more or less hand made and must have a degree of variability in construction and usage and associated gear will vary so much I doubt if just having the approximate usage time would tell you much. I have seldom or never worn out a cartridge but then I don't do speed dating either; the magic is all in your ear. Given a well constructed stylus and cantilever it SHOULD last longer than this but only you could judge.
Miyabi 47 cartridge: How many hours does it last ?
I have an opportunity to buy a used Miyabi47 cartridge. What is the typical life expectancy of this cart, considering it is well maintained ? How many hours does it really sing without any significant deterioration ?
I remember reading somewhere it only does 1000 hours before starting to lose its magic :(. Is it true ?
