So I've been using my Adikt for some time now and thought it was about time I replaced the stylus so ordered a brand new one online.
It arrived this morning and I'm shocked at the state of it to be honest. The box was slightly crushed which isn't a good start. There is no Linn sticker over the opening either. The plastic inside has been opened as the sticker over that has been cut (I understand some dealers check them before sending out, so this was understandable).
However, there was no stylus guard on the stylus! (I'm sure there is supposed to be one, or am I wrong?) The actual tip had room to wobble and hit the plastic it was sitting in, which seems very odd to me. The thing looks okay but then I don't have a microscope so no idea if it has been damaged in any way. My biggest concern is the cantilever as the box has clearly been under stress in the post and it's possible the cantilever has had pressure applied to it.
Can anyone confirm whether this should have come with a stylus guard?
Thanks,
Simon.
