How do I know if cartridge replacement is needed?


I just recently purchaced a Sanyo turntable. I know very little about it.
Most vinyl sounds pretty decent on it, but occasionally there is a distortion in the higher frequencies of my music.
The table has a Grado cartidge on it now, I don't know when it was installed. Do I need a new cartidge?

Dear Ben: Other than what Doug rightly posted: I don't know the quality performance of your Sanyo TT and I don't know the quality of its tonearm, maybe you could have a Grado problem but maybe not, I can't be sure with your info, maybe the tonearm is not a very good performer or it is not a good match with the Grado cartridge.

Anyway, why don't look to test the Grado on a friend system or in a local audio dealer and " see " what happen.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
