I have an extensive vinyl collection that has been gathering dust for many years. My old turntable is in a box here somewhere. Since I can't find my old turntable, I bought another one, a JVC AL-F3, used. Everything is now hooked up and I put on an old Rare Earth album. I found that the needle stuck on one groove and did not move across the record as it should. My thinking is that the existing stylus is worn out and that I am in need of a new stylus for the turntable. Should replacing the stylus fix the problem or could it be a problem with the arm? It moves freely as it should. Should I look into replacing the cartridge or just the stylus?
I look forward to your insight and help.
Thanks!
