No, I'm afraid the cantilever is bent and you'll have a channel imbalance.
Ok. Is there a way I can fix it, or do I just need to buy a new cartridge? Can I buy just a stylus?
Thanks,

Thanks! I will check out that link.
That’s kind of unfortunate, I felt like the cart was half the deal... oh well.

No, I'm afraid the cantilever is bent and you'll have a channel imbalance.
And the possibility of damaging your records with continuous playing. I would halt the record playing till you get a replacement.

Holy ship man, I didn't think you were going to just blindly go at the thing without asking questions. I guess I feel partly to blame for not being initially specific about what to do, PM me your address.

I don’t think this one was, I barely even touched it. And the first picture I posted (from yesterday) shows the bent stylus no words that I’m looking at it closer.

2) Try to buy your records new. If you buy used ones be very critical of their condition.
3) Get MoFi sleeves.
Some noise is inevitable but constant snaps and crackles aren't normal with a clean record in pristine shape.
Didn’t notice that you edited this earlier.
All the records I have technically belong to my dad, but I will get my own soon. My dad has MoFi sleeves which are in all his records.
I didn’t realize how scratched up sgt. Peppers was before I played it, after pulling it off I realize do it was in terrible condition. Beatles 62-66 was much more clean.

Was it already bent? Well eff that I'm not buying you a new cartridge then. I'm just kidding, let's karma it up, I'm seeing what I can find I just need an address to send it to.

Just gotta wait for parental approval. I wish I didn’t have to wait for them to talk about it, but oh well.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, Thanks so much dude!

Well since I am half blind with no glasses I thought that I had lifted the tone arm off of the eraser, but nooooooo! Swung it over and the stylus bent over 45 degrees out of place. I bent it back but it is still off center. So what should I replace it with? Amazon has the stylus for 32 bucks, the whole damned cartridge is like 39!
I did that myself once, ripped the stylus clean off my cartridge after having just started listening to it, was putting on another record with a micro cloth as not to touch it and as I pulled the cloth away it grabbed the stylus and snapped it off. I had just changed my Red Orotofon to a blue.

neither of those make me laugh. It makes me sad when I see good audio gear destroyed, accidentally or otherwise.

Great entry level/starter cartridge, that is good enough to very well be the last cartridge that you buy. Can't really go wrong with Shure, even though they decided to step out of the vinyl cartridge game.
I might be getting you into a Shure M97XE, still working on it. It's a $100 cart new so nothing special but it's a good cart none the less.
"Electronic music is human sound adapting to indulge technology, and for some, it feels like the signature sound of energy. New and abstract sounds over hypnotic rhythms can conjure vast soundscapes for escape, pleasure, and transcendence."
I use that same cart on my Technics SL1350. Matches very well with vintage Tech TT's.
Kudos to NF.

Before we go forward I need to know if you or your Dad knows how to install a cartridge properly.
My dad might, I think I do as well, but I will have to double check with a YouTube video or something.
I believe it is something along the lines of this:
1: remove cartridge mount and then remove old cart
2: screw the new cart into the mount, leaving on the stylus protector (?)
3: make sure it is aligned with a protractor
4: use a scale to set the weight of the tone arm (we have a scale built for this already)
5: play music to test
Am I correct, half and half, or did I totally fail the class?
Edit: oh I just realized it would probably help to put the mount back on the tone arm

I am most definitely not in a rush.
I will practice with my old cart tonight once I finish tidying up my room a bit.
