Your problem takes me back to the bad ole' days, the 1950's-1970's. When no amount of cleaning of the stylus would help and no loose screws needed to be tightened I knew it was time to just get a new needle. I must say, too, that some of my old 45 rpm singles have always been so afflicted. It's one of the banes of analog existence. It's one of the reasons that other formats came to pass.
Fuzzy distortion on vinyl........Stylus issue?
Need some advice from the Turntable & Stylus crowd. I have an issue whereupon my vinyl has a tiny bit of fuzzy distortion when playing. This happens on brand new 180g albums as well as my collection from the 70's-80's.
Is this a stylus issue? or my cartridge (Ortofon Red MM)? Streaming & CD/SACD sound fine.
