I have a Grado ZF3 mounted to a Music Hall MMF2 turntable. This has sounded very synergistic in my system. It went a few months without being played.
Now, it sounds like the stylus is not staying in the groove, and will even skip across towards the center sometimes.
I ruled out VTF by confirming that it still floats near 0. I cannot figure out what could have changed or gone wrong. Could the stylus suspension have suddenly failed? The cartridge body still looks parallel to the record.
I clean each record w/ a Discwasher type of thing before each side, and apply Stylast to the stylus.
Should a buy a new stylus, or what? Unless sudden failure is a thing, I have no idea what it could be.
What ideas do you have?
