Adikt worn-out?

Post by Matteo »

Hi

After 4 years and about 1,800 hours, I think that my Adikt is close to the end.

The sound became harsh and with a lot of sibilances, my modest Cambridge CXN is now a lot better than the LP12 to listen to.

Is the cartridge worn-out?

Most likely the stylus is worn out, that is a reasonable number of hours for an Adikt. The other possibility is that the stylus has some gunk on it. But if you clean it with green paper and it still sounds that way you should get yourself a new stylus.

Thanks Thomas

I clean it regularly with green paper
