Stylus wear

[Richard]

Thanks Greg and Andy. Yes, new DL160 fitted and sounding great again with no mis-tracking or apparent damage from a couple of playings of those inner tracks. In fact background noise now seems lower on all the albums I've tried so I suppose the new stylus may be riding another part of the groove. Had a look at it with a pocket magnifier but nothing obvious or bent so probably just worn out. I appreciate every job will be different but to give us an idea if it would be worth looking into what did Dom do for yours and how much was it please
