Hello all,
I'm tyring to get back into vinyl. I have a "Quality" Aiwa -- well that's an oxymoron . I had disconnected it a couple of years ago because I wasn't getting any sound from it. To be more specific it worked but there was no sound going to my reciever.
I was all set to bring it in to be fixed -- I'd rather spend the $70 to have it fixed as opposed to a ton of money on a new player.
I hooked it up to my reciever and surprisingly it worked, however it sounded horrible. I think the stylus was covered in dust. I tried to blow the stylus clean but it didn't help.
Should I just get a new stylus? I can get an identical one for $30. Is it possible to get a better one or will my Aiwa only work with an exact replacement?
Thanks
Tom

Does anyone have any suggestions/advice for cleaning my stylus and records?
