Ended up with an OM-5E, but I've noticed recently that there is no high frequency reponse any more - it sounds like a 128k mp3.

I've put a new Pro S stylus on, to no avail. Any ideas lads?

You need to adjust your tonearm for the new cartridge. There's probably too much vertical tracking force and too much overhang with the new cart.

VTF and alignment are fine, I hadn't though much about overhang. I'll see if that helps, but I swear it used to sound OK and now it doesn't. Maybe I just didn't notice it.

I'm almost certain you've checked already, but if two different cartridges sound the same, my instinct that the problem is somewhere else, half unplugged cable, dodgy amp, bad wiring, that sort of thing.

Two different styli sound the same - the original cartridge isn't great sounding anyway but there's definitely a lot more treble there.

Turns out it's my amplifier's phono stage. It's a Denon from the 90s and that means capacitor leakage.
