Problem with stylus

HI Guys, ive got an annoyin problem with one stylus. It keeps only playing sound out of the right channel and not the left. If i poke it a few times or wipe it, it usually fixes it, but then after a few minutes it does the same again, The cart and stylus is only a few weeks old, any ideas what it could be? (maybe its just broken?)

is it the connection?

it will be a conenction somewhere- most likely between the cart and the tonearm
I get this on my ortofon concordes sometimes- if you have concordes you might have lightly corroded terminals- just need snading ever so slightly, otherwise try twisting them slightly or tightening them moreso...

If its a normal headshell mounted cart- check the wires

Cheers guys, i got it workin

Ive got one of them normal headshell mounted carts, and it was the connections between the tonearm and cart that were loose. Are them wires easily replaceable?, they look like they could break easy.

yea you can get headshell leads at almost anywhere that sells cartridges and headshells. i know turntablelab has them for sure. try needledoctor for nice ones
