My record player sounds pretty good, on the whole (it's a Linn Basik

However, on some records, it can sound a bit glassy.
Valve amplification and/or phono stage usually cures most ills with
vinyl replay kit, but what cartridge are you using?
It's a Linn K5.

I hadn't thought it would be an amplification problem, but more likely
to do with the mechanical set-up.

OK. First step is to try a new stylus - an AT-95E will fit and work
fine, if look a little strange. 22 spons from Mantra:

But double check the fit first, to be certain...


I don't think you can do that. IIRC the K5 stylus is bonded in.

Are you sure? Perhaps you were pulling it forward instead of down.
The K9 stylus isn't glued in.
