Audio-Technica Replacement Stylus

So I bought this stylus to replace one I accidentally broke (vinyl noob), and found it easy to install. Great sound like the one I broke, and just generally a great investment. Fast forward to yesterday and I get Dolly's New Rockstar album. Start to enjoy, but one a change to D2S1 I was so into the music that I took the term "drop the beat" a little too harshly and the needle did a head dive into tracks 1, and 3 and the needle broke off. What sucks is I am pretty hurting for cash at the moment, and this stylus is passed the 2 year warranty mark, not to mention, it was my bad. I was willing to pony up the cash, but on a lark I reached out to service at atus dot com and, Erik F. offered a half off for a replacement. I just had to call the parts division and place an order. It wasn't much, but it meant a lot to me that I got a HUMAN (or really good AI) to answer my email, and that they did something to help me get my player working again. Huge Fan, Thanks AT. -Andy
