Cartridges also wear with age and usage... however the ear tends not to notice
the degredation of sound as much as you would with a worn stylus. Typically
you should change your cartridge every 5th or so stylus change. The newer
ones may get you better milage :)

I'm a bit impressed with the modern stuff tbh. I have an inexpensive soundbar
system with 4" subwoofer and it sounds pretty nice for what it is. If Samsung
didn't block the FM receiver in the phones I could link it with bluetooth for
radio listening... but I can also use the various streaming apps. Still though
nothing like old school audiophile stuff. Bass is more natural sounding than
electronically generated sound.
