[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 867336, member: 2310"] +xxx To reliably inspect a stylus profile against a known model of the stylus takes a minimum of 200x, preferably as high as 500x magnification. To give you an idea, on an average MM stylus, it's only about 1/10 - 1/20 part of the visible "cone" shape that actually goes inside the groove. And, stylus condition is only one in MANY, MANY variables that come into play (pun intended). With SL-23 in mind, specifically - it has a robust, reliable arm. Unfortunately, many people back in a day seemed to think that tonearm on a turntable also doubled as a handle when needing to move the turntable around. Which is to say - pivot points should be checked and tolerance (play) adjusted - if possible. There are many other mechanical issues to check. But to begin with; if the "IGD" occurs on all your records, start from effective length (overhang offset) adjustment? [/QUOTE]
