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. It would
make more sense to change the cartridge for an AT-95E. It's similar in
many ways and has the benefit of a changeable stylus. 34 quid from same
place.
