RE: Can The Gunk Make A Cartridge Sound Dull?

" can a cartridge that's starting to reach the end of it's life sound dull? "

Yes, for MCs that is often caused by the coils becoming magentised over time. This being the reason that cartridge demagnetisers are produced. If you have the original Delos instructions you may find that Lyra recommend the periodic demagnetising of the cartridge. They certainly do in the instructions for my Skala.

Unsure about your idea of trying LP#9. This may be "more of the same" as it also contains a lubricant. I certainly heard the difference with a Lyra Clavis DC when I cleaned off the residue with Disc Doctor's stiff brush. Whether this could be judged an improvement or not is, however, a matter of personal taste.
