Except for damage caused by careless operation, the use of excessive needle pressure, shoddy inferior records and severely shaking turntables will shorten the life of the needle tip. As the radius of curvature of the sharpened needle tip becomes larger, its ability to track high-frequency signals in the sound groove decreases. When the sound details are reduced, the treble is gradually poor, and the sound becomes more and more dull, you need to consider replacing the cartridge This AT3600L is a very high-quality cartridge with more than 50 years of production history, and the production technology is very mature.
