There is no reason for ANY cartridge to be misaligned or mistracked.

In fact it is easy to demonstrate cartridge mistracking on demanding
records
with all but the very best cartridges.
DON'T try playing a vinyl copy of the Telarc 1812 with that cheap
cartridge,
one playing will damage it. The CD version on the other hand, can be
played
on any cheap CD player without damage. Cheap speakers may be another
matter
though :-)

I rather doubt that anything that has been pressed on a mass market LP
is capable of damaging a cartridge (unless the LP is somehow
defective).

Obviously I meant the *record* would be damaged!

In the case of the Telarc 1812, you're not listening to the cannon
shots anyway, you're listening to the limitations of the whole vinyl
system.

Exactly.
