Re: Wear on stylus - strange distortion phenomena. Help needed

That's an interesting and puzzling problem! Some initial thoughts...

With only 350 hours, it seems unusual that you'd see any wear. Sounds like maybe the cart had a rougher life than most. Could be the suspension is showing that too.

OK, starting with the simple first, have you double-checked your cabling? Are you certain the microscope inverts the image?

It may be obvious and I'm sorry to ask such a basic question, but have to you re-checked the cart alignment after the VTF/VTA adjustments?

Have you checked the azimuth?

Ultimately, I'd advise you not to get too hung up on test tracks. I know it's hard not too! But if the combo plays music well, that's the important part.
