Hi guys,
I’ve just fitted a direct replacement Ortofon OM5E stylus to my Pro-ject Elemental. I’ve double checked the tracking force and it’s within the correct range. It’s currently at 1.79 grams as it was with the old stylus. Nothing has changed apart from the stylus which is exactly the same model as before.
However upon trying it out with a few records, it‘s skipping on new bass heavy vinyl. This wasn’t happening before the stylus change. I haven‘t touched the cartridge alignment only un plugged the old stylus and plugged in the new one.
Does this suggest I have a faulty stylus out of the box? Thanks for any replies.
