Archie, I recently bought a used TT mounted with an AKG cartridge. I won't go into everything that I encountered, but suffice it to say that it pays to check all aspects of what you have bought or assumed. After correcting the counterbalance weight (maybe my error, since the unit shipped with TWO counterweights), I found that tracking much improved. On a hunch I decided to buy a replacement stylus from LP gear, who offered a bit of an upgrade from the original. Yes, the sound ALL came back. Although this is great, I have to wonder just how much damage, if any, the original stylus has made? Or perhaps it was just the cartridge suspension for the original that had aged to the point where it simply wasn't in spec anymore.
