The stylus becoming overly & quickly dirty could well be an indication that the VTA is wrong which would definately be symptomatic of having the wrong ride height. It would put the stylus rake out of kilter which in turn would drag dirt out of the grooves which wouldn't normally be touched by a correctly tracking cartridge. (It does show you may need to clean your vinyl though👍)

Patience my friend, I think he will take note of this thread. If not I can surely help you....
Just got mail!
Axel will send me a new one for comparison. We'll see.
But for him the photos are normal.😕
Well then, if the new one sounds better you should keep that one🙂

Compared to my SMMC 4 and org. MMC 4, yes about 30 degrees to much.

Put it this way - if someone was asking advice on whether to buy this cartridge using your last photo as evidence of condition, I would definately tell them to forget it.
I think we should also say that this isn't at all typical of Axels work & shows that we are all human & prone to mistakes - if indeed this turns out to be the case.
