Hey all, lately it's been difficult for me to get some sound from the cartridge base due to those metal pins, and it's the spring version of the cartridge I have. Is it likely because contact base is dirty? Or can it be that they're not touching it close enough? For a short while I got audio in the left speaker, but now nothing at all.
