Replace Stylus or both Cart. & Stylus??

I ressurrected my old technics SL-Q2 turntable recently after 20 years of storage, sounds ok but seems to change sound quality with different LPs. I'm thinking maybe the stylus is in need of replacement (SHURE N95HE in it's original Shure M95E PHONO CARTRIDGE). Do need to replace both or would the styus replacement be sufficent? I have a line on this stylus new believe it or not.... Opinions??

You just need to replace the stylus, which on a Shure is actually an assembly consisting of the stylus, cantilever, magnet and suspension. All that's really in the cartridge body are the pickup coils which should last indefinitely with normal care of the unit.

I don't know if that will necessarily correct the problem you're having though. Perhaps.
