Keep in mind that the line contact type stylus may ride lower but thats not always a fix. It depends on where the groove damage or dirt resides. An elliptical or conical stylus may make some records sound better than a line contact depending on where the problems lies in the groove.

Sometimes riding lower in the groove helps and sometimes riding higher fixes the issue. There is no single solution for everything.
