half the story. What arm are you using this in ? Who set it up in that arm ? What tracking force ? Why do you think it's new /unused ? Is the stylus all the way seated into the cart body ?
Advice needed as to Shure M 97 HE / Era IV
Having a Shure M 97 HE /Era IV cartridge system which is almost unused but tracks incorrectly and sounds distorted and harsh, especially at "forte" passages, I wonder if this could be related to a dry rubber suspension? On the other hand, in another thread on this forum I luckily noticed an answer from Shure saying that there are no parts inside the pickup assembly that will deteriorate, and that a new stylus puts the cartridge to its original condition like when it was new.
May I in this case take for granted the same answer; that my M 97 HE / Era IV only needs a new stylus in order to be in perfect working order?
