thanks
here's where I ask what stylii/cartridges should I be thinking about, if I decide to replace the current stylus ? could go like for like I guess
edit: I've emailed the company that sold me my deck to ask whether they participate in the rega rebuild scheme

I’ve only ever really used Ortofon Concords for DJing. One thing to be aware of is that stylii are spherical or elliptical - and that Rega sounds like it’s probably elliptical and needs to be set up more accurately. There’s an audiophile thread where more knowledgeable folks will be able to give the best advice: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/156217/

How I can usually tell is that my good condition records start sounding like the bad condition ones - and those sound even worse.
More here - which has the usual advice to just change a stylus on secondhand stuff with unknown use: https://blog.discogs.com/en/how-often-change-turntable-stylus/
Not familiar with the cartridge/stylus, but you can’t replace the stylus yourself - but Rega can: https://www.rega.co.uk/products/exact
