It was my understanding that back in the day they could damage your records. I wonder if any of those previous issues have been addressed.

IIRC it was the issue of later, cheaper ones like Crosley. While cannot be on par with desktop or bigger players, Sound Burger with its original stylus was pretty decent for its size.

#1 thing to damage records in use are shit Stylus. Also I personally don’t trust anything without a full platter, the potential for wobble just invites a stylus to interact poorly with your media surface.

Edit: apparently I’ve never once typed a hashtag symbol in Reddit mobile? Didn’t realize it was for doing the text LOUDS.

FYI, if you put a / before the hash, Reddit ignores it as a formatting symbol

The AT3600L is a fine cart and won’t “damage” your records. It’s not the best, but it’s far from being “bad”. It’s the stock cart on Rega P1 & P2.

Vinyl records are a fun way to discover music for me, and this thing will be great for previewing old $2 records (which, I’m sure have never had a bad stylus dropped on them…) at local stores without hogging the preview table.
