I have mine for 7 years now, I listen to music on vinyl,
let's say, one hour a week.

Should I change it, or can I live with it?

364hrs of listening, as opposed to DJing use? I'd be
really hacked off if it needed replacing that quickly.

That aside, as Horsefactory says, whether or not it still
sounds good would be what'd decide it for me.

It sounds good on A1s and B1s but not as good on A2s on B2s.
Is it for everyone?

Yes, it's 364 hours of listening. I DJ only, let's say, 1
hour in a month.

Well, the reason it sounds worse on A2&B2 would probably
because when the cart is around the midpoint on the record
it is at it's most vulnerable as regards fidelity, and any
problems with your cart/stylus would be more obvious. If i
recall correctly.

364 hours isn't that much for one of those,

check with this thing and see if it all matches up

I can't open your document, cronenburger, but thanks.

I listened to some vinyl with headphones and I think it was
OK, even for A2, this time. There's some blowing, but
there's always some, innit?
