It seems to be related to how flat a record is sorry some stuff is too rare to be guaranteed a perfectly flat.
Cartridge dragging on vinyl.
This has happened to me now with two separate turntables pro ject debut carbon and pioneer pl 530.
There are several variables that may cause a machine to tear through material.
Fortunately this problem can usually be resolved with.
In an mc cartridge 2 coils with a magnet between them move a cantilever.
I got out a magnifying lense and the tip does look funky.
I m wonder if anyone has had an issue with the back of a ortofon 2m blue dragging against the vinyl at the beginning of each side.
Needles styli cartridges pick ups call them what you like every turntable has something that sits in the groove and reads the undulations in the groove wall.
With my other cartridges it s easy to see how the tip is angled down correctly to get into the grooves of the records.
I was excited to try it out because it came pretty highly.
A proper cleaning will remove dirt and static electricity from the vinyl.

I lowered the arm again and found that the cartridge was no longer dragging so whatever i did kind of fixed it.
A moving magnet cartridge has a magnet attached to the metal cantilever with the diamond.
Dirt and static electricity may cause good records to sound scratchy.
I recently received an audio technica at92e universal cartridge and stylus off of amazon.
It interacts with the coil and is converted from magnetic into electrical signal while the replaceable diamond is tracking the vinyl.
