Visually inspect the stylus to see if it has somehow been bent/off center/etc. or simply get a new cartridge.
Right channel makes raspy noise when playing records
Hi all
I have a Music Hall 5 TT with a Goldring cartridge. 6 months ago I replaced the stylus and it sounded great. yesterday I played brand new 180g vinyl and there was a scratching sound from the right channel. It made this sound on every record and if touch the TT with the stylus sitting on the record, (not rotating) it still makes the sound. I am pretty sure this is specific to the TT (tested the rest of the system and no problems. ) Do Cartriges degrade so suddenly ?
It is about 8 to 10 years old.
