Many good audio places have a stylus microscope (the Wild-Heerbrug seems to
be popular) and will examine your stylus, usually free. You should take your
stylus in at least once a year, or 6 months if heavily used. Make sure the
guy knows what he's doing and if possible ask to see it yourself (some places
will take a picture of it, for a small fee). Don't take chances with minor
wear if clearly visible, especially if chipped. The extra cost of replacing
the stylus more often would be outweighed by record damage with a worn stylus.
