Is this stylus worn out?

Dear @marktomaras  : " After several years.."  after several years almost any cartridge needs service/re-tip or at least that be check by a professional about.

Several years could means several hours or not to many depending the every day average use and only you know about.

Everything the same and according what you posted a distortion at high frequency range could means the stylus tip is already prepared for a re-tip but only a pro can tell you for sure or contact directly to Lyra .

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Have you tried cleaning it? Looks like there may be debris stuck on it. That'll mess up the high frequency tracking.

give that stylus a good ultrasonic cleaning, then play it again. alternately, see if you can discern an increase in surface noise on the record when the other stylus plays it, mistracking chips off little slivers of vinyl that can have this effect. 

The distortion caused by worn fine line contact edges causes linear distortion of a type that is not annoying, but works to decay the soundstage, imaging, detail, overall intelligibility and high frequency extension. The high frequency distortion can be several other things, but I don’t think it is a sign of a worn stylus and is NOT a sign of a misaligned stylus. The two most likely culprits are a very dirty stylus (happens sometimes if you use gel cleaners, extended use of the magic eraser in a humid environment or never wet clean your stylus) and problems with your tonearm (either not enough or too much anti-skating, horizontal forces generated by twisted wires or bad bearings). Third most likely cause is that you are listening to groove damage.

I’ve never seen a USB scope capable of resolving well enough to show fine line contact stylus wear - and I’ve experimented with many USB scopes. You need an optical scope for that.

In any case, "several years" suggests you passed the 1,000 hour use mark a while ago if you listen for a few hours a week. It is probably time for a re-tipping.

Moving coil carts should be cleaned quite often. I find that after about 2 weeks or about 20 hours of play, enough debris accumulates on the cantilever that it begins to deaden the sound a bit.

I use a 50/50 mix of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol to gently brush the stylus. MC cantilevers and output are so delicate that you’ll notice an improvement.

Also, you’ll be better able to see what’s going on with a clean stylus.
