@holmz , you have tried changing everything else so this is a good possibility. If you want to knock it out of the park go for an arm/cartridge combination that are known to be top notch trackers. The better Soundsmith cartridges, any Lyra, the Ortofon Winfeld Ti or Verisimo in the Reed 2G, Schroder CB, or Tri Planar are great examples. I'm sure there are more but these are the ones I know for a fact will perform at the head of the pack in regards to tracking. Also remember that once a record has been miss-tracked it is likely to be permanently damaged and will continue to distort in the same way. Some cases of "miss-tracking" are really just poor pressings. It is much easier to tell when you are confident in your set up. With cartridges that are borderline trackers you can never be sure. A cartridge can be wonderful, warm and romantic sounding but, if it can't track it is worthless as far as I am concerned. Damaged records are never an option.
Tone arm plug in RCA cable?
I have a tone arm with a connector that plugs into the bottom of the arm to get the L/R channels from the stereo cart.
There are currently going into a Sumiko Premire PIB 1 box on the side of the deck… The RCAs going to the phono stage are then combing off of that “break out” box.
So a handful of suggestions of phono lines to come off the table would be great to have.
Or do I just get some thin silver wire and twist up some, as they only need to be maybe 10” long (if even that long),
