** Groper alert !

How do you inspect a stylus on a phono cartridge is in good shape?
I guess I can use some kind of magnifying glass, right?
How good the resolution of the magnifying glass should be to adequately
tell the usage/life left for a stylus? What kinds of tool do you use?



** You need a good microscope.

You need to know exactly what to look for too.

This site has a few tips.
