From there we can asses the wear and quality of the stylus and determine how much use it has seen, and if there are any mechanical issues. We can also identify if it needs further cleaning or care.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe then move the cartridge to a digital microscope where we take photos of the cantilever and stylus for future reference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNext we move to the test bench where we can check for continuity of each channel and resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn certain cartridges (or if the technician feels necessary) we install the cartridge on a turntable and run several test records to ascertain tacking ability, distortion, and compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Miyajima Laboratory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47088855646462,"sku":"106783","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/3275\/9084\/files\/miyajima-laboratory-zero-mono-mc-phono-cartridge-0-7-mil-stylus-version-pre-loved-561.jpg?v=1752867012","url":"https:\/\/skyfiaudio.com\/products\/miyajima-lab-mono-0-7-phono-cartridge-pre-loved","provider":"SkyFi Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
