Also fun fact, stylus are usually rated only for 150-250h of play before needing replacing.

If you're avidly listening to music this is less than a year.

The vast majority of vinyl junkie audiophiles are not replacing their stylus anywhere near that frequently.

Another fun fact, there are obsessive people out there that they use a new stylus for _each_ song. (I came across one)

I think there may have been a misunderstanding. There are many of us who regularly switch to a different stylus depending on the record or genre we're playing. I haven't heard of anyone treating a stylus as single-use.

Nope, the vinlys were very old (antique?) and he said he was doing it to preserve them.
