I didn&#8217;t have a clue how many hours were on my old Goldring 1010. It sounded ok to my ears, but was it chewing my records? I ended up changing it just to be safe. Not wanting to be in the same position again I bought a cheap ( \u00a31.09 eBay) tally counter and stuck it under my turntable. I quickly got into the habit of clicking it as i flicked the cue lever down. Maybe I forget occasionally. Maybe my estimate of 20 minutes per side is a bit off. I still recon it&#8217;s giving me a pretty good estimate of needle time to within 10% or so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong>: On 15th February\u00a0 2018 hit the 300 sides mark. This time with Blue Oyster Cult. That&#8217;s about 100 hours in five months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I changed the cartridge on my turntable for a Goldring E3 I also positioned an electronic tally counter nearby to monitor usage.
