Defective Ortofon 2M Bronze?
I recently purchased a Technics SL-1200G with Ortofon 2M Bronze installed. A private seller assured me that the cartridge had about 100 hours on it and proved it with a sales receipt from about a year ago. I have been listening to it for a while but wasn't...
Feeling like a bit of a newbie on this one, but I suppose the reality is, I am and after hours of reading, figured it can't hurt to just ask.
