Hi guys
Thank you all for your help. As Rolf2 suggested, the new cartridge along with me wobbling the tone arm about to get it on has fixed the issue. However I fear the problems Beofile7 has mentioned may come to bite me in the bum in the future, so it’s good reference for others moving forwards.
Thank you all for your input, if I come up with any more problems I’ll be sure to get back in touch.
