Hi all,

I am a bit worried as my stylus is picking up a lot of fluff when I am playing records. When I pick up and roll the fluff with my fingers, it is black (yes, my hands are clean).

This had lead me to think that my stylus is worn or chipped and was scraping off the vinyl in the groove wall, so therefore I brought a brand new stylus. However, my brand new stylus is also picking up a lot of black fluff.

I am rather concerned and would like to know if the fluff is actually chiseled vinyl or just plain old dust.

The picture shows the black fluff on my new stylus.

I hope that someone can advice me.

Thanks,

Jon
