Afternoon, I'd like to draw on the vast knowledge of the forum. I seem to remember reading an article some time ago saying that a cartridge would have a finite life, even if not used. It said this would be due to the ageing of perishable components. Is this good gen or not? The reason I am asking is that I currently have a Lyra Clavis that has been in storage for the last 3 years whilst I am overseas. The cartridge must be approaching 10 years old now and has had minimal usage over that time. Given my impending return to the UK it looks like I have 3 options - use the cartridge as is, get it refurbished (Expert Stylus?) or buy new (eg Delos or similar). All suggestions and comments on the best option welcomed.
