RE: My cartridge suddenly fails to track

Look at the stylus as the arm/cartridge lower onto the record. When the stylus touches the record it should deflect up a bit because of the tracking force on it. If it deflects all the way so that your cartridge body rests on the record, the suspension is probably messed up. If it appears to rest normally in the groove, that doesn't prove the suspension is OK, it just passed this test. This happened recently to a cartridge of mine. It would play with the cartridge body touching the record, but the slightest warp could send it somewhere else.
