I understand the skepticism on me isolating the issue to the stylus. I checked all the other issues, but the issue seems to be fixed (when it happens) by physically wiggling the stylus itself. it is strange it's only one side, but I've checked the contacts on the headshell, to the cartridge, and all contacts to the receiver itself. My hunch is that it's some kind of degradations or reduction in suppleness in the rubber that comes connects the cantilever to the main stylus mount. It's really too bad because I love the sound of this cartridge, I've had the Cartridge since 1988 and have replaced the stylus once, in 1996.
