Thanks Nick, that's great info. Very useful. The reason I changed from Grado to Shure WLs was that exact same reason. I love the Grados and will continue to use them at home for sure but they are certainly to suceptible to shaky hands or bad eyesight! LOL!
I've done the change now so I'll ensure I have a few spares needles for the WLs before we start and have a couple of new Stanton V3 500s I've still got, just in case.
Damn! I thought I'd solved this problem.
Regards,
Dave
