A friend of mine has a relatively expansive Dynavector element from about 12 years old from which the needle needs to be replaced. But it seems needles of MC elements are hard if even possible to replace. So, he can get a little refund on a new Dynavector element but that's it.
My question, is this really the case with (all) MC elements? Because with the more high end ones from 1000 euros ore more this could get expansive really fast when playing vinyl often. Especially when after about 1000 hours or so playing time for the average needle, this needle (and thus whole MC element) needs to be replaced...
How are you guys experiencing this? And do you have tips to consider?
They can be re-tipped instead of replacing the whole assembly.
