Tidal is corrupt
Call you CC company and dispute charge ASAP 
Time to upgrade my turntable?
I'd also recommend keeping the TT & cartridge but getting a new phono section, maybe the Gold Note PH10 which is very flexible so when you change cartridges down the road it should allow for that. Just my 2 cents worth 
Tube based phono stage
I've been using a New Valve Order (NVO) for many years just wonderful. It was the rage 5 or so yrs back where people sold their multi $$$$ for this unit. A bit above your price point but look for a used one, unfortunately rarely do they show up. 
To Stream or Not to Stream
The new music to be found is a game changer. Have only been doing it myself for under 2 yrs but we'll worth it. 
Phono cartridge torque wrench
Hurry up there's only 11 left in stock! 
Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.)
Anyone hear about the newest KM Prodigy "Blue" that is being released soon? From a dealer heard it's supposed to be a few big steps ahead of the original.

Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse?
Not great options IMO. Would have thought they would at least take the cartridge back and 1st verify the issue then replace or repair. Now based on this it would be a product I'd never consider.

@mglik which Monks machine do you use? 
Digital tweaks or upgrades that do work
@audioman58 if you are using a Roon Nucleus then I'd suggest a Teddy Pardo power supply. At $440 it is a well worth upgrade to your streaming enjoyment. 
Up grade to a new turntable
Another vote for the Kuzma GREAT table and arm. Built to last and sounds wonderful. 
Daily Record cleaning
If you want something easy and quick that does the job look into the Keith Monks Prodigy. You can spend a lot more and do worse.  
Server/Source Recommendation For Denafrips Terminator
@mpomerantz want to upgrade your Roon Nucleus get a Teddy Pardo LPS. Just heard one installed at a dealer and the sonic improvement was startling. Would not have believed it if I hadn't heard it myself.  
Ultrasonic LP Cleaning vs. “Thread Type” Cleaning (Keith Monks/Loricraft/etc.)
I've been using the KM Prodigy threadless machine for several months, came from a VPI16.5 and find it quick, quiet (relatively speaking) and cleans better than the VPI. Yes US may clean deeper but are not as simple as this machine is. YMMV 
Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse?
350ish hours isn't that much and unless you mishandled it should not happen. I've heard of another guy that his Hanna's suspension failed after 500 hrs. Might be time to look elsewhere
