You should try the $99 Ortofon Red. Grados are great carts; not sure what the issue is on your table-might be setup. Did you check VTF and VTA?

Don't know what VTF and VTA are. I know Grados are good, but this one does not like my table. The cart is p-mount so tracking is as good as the table is capable of.

Re: New stylus and three new LPs on the way.

One thing I learned was that a stylus needs to be cleaned really well every so often. More crud builds up on the stylus than it does on the grooves of the LPs.

I got a Microacoustics cartridge with my Thorens years ago, but IIRC you never could purchase a replacement stylus. Went with a Shure V-15 type V from Pacific Stereo when they went out of business.

Am I old or what?

Here's a photo of the 2M Red Ortofon cartridge.
