A single play with a damaged or worn out stylus would damage the groove of a vinyl album.
How unsafe would it to be to play a worn out or damaged groove of a vinyl album with a good stylus ? Single play to archive the album is probably OK but how bad does it get when it's played repeatedly ? Life of the stylus would probably be shortened due to uneven wear.
Any thoughts on this ?
Would a spherical stylus be safer ( on the stylus) as the contact area is larger and it sits higher up in the groove ?
