I messed up.
The other day I accidentally dropped the tonearm on the rubber mat (just wanted to clean the stylus and my finger slipped off of the headshell handle on the side, also forgot to raise the cue lever) and it bounced a couple of times. Also, I guess I have put some sideways pressure on it while trying to grab it. Anxious rookie mistake, I know.
Thought not much of it, then came back to this view yesterday while putting on a record 🥲 The turntable is fairly new, so I was trying to stave off the itch to get a better stylus, and just enjoy it, but I guess it is time for an upgrade?
