1. check leads and possibly clean them and make them tighter.
2. check an anti-skate or vary it to see if it fixes the problem.
3. stylus wear! if it's still on warranty than call immediately to retip.
4. check normal tracking force and azimuth
5. it's definitely not magnetizing issue. the cartridge normally should always be magnetized and demagnetizing might realy screw-up normal performance.
