Ok one of my ortofon needles droped for some weird ass reason. Normally they are slanted at a angle. But the needle is almost straight down opposed to a slant. So could i use it? I took it off just incase because I wasnt sure with the ortofon design that having a needle going down when it should be slanted would be good for my vinyl.

Help please

sounds like you snapped or bent the stylus, do not use it, it will mame your records. go buy a new stylus, in fact you will be best getting a pair, then you won't have to go without if your other one fucks over
