Playing vinyl records is a demanding physical process that involves your stylus traveling a great distance. (Around 1,500 feet across each side of an average LP).
Despite the fact most styli are made from diamond (one of the top ten toughest materials known to man) your stylus will eventually wear out.
But how many records can you play before you need to replace a stylus? And how can you tell when it's time to swap it out for a new one.
