Is it possible for the center image to drift from lp to lp?

Lately it seems I'm having to adjust speaker positioning, slightly, to accommodate for "center image drifting".

It does seem to fluctuate somewhat between varying lps.

Could it be either of these things:

(1) I'm a 57 year old male.
(2) The transparency of my system .
(3) The mixing of any particular lp.
(4) Once one's system is revealing enough, is it possible to hear if the center image, ( in the case of a vocalist) moves slightly from one side of the microphone?

I'm hoping for most to come down on number 4.

Thanks.

dcbingaman, Thank you for the info. I do appreciate the alternative to an equipment change.

stringreen, I hear where you're coming from. I Do feel I have some more "truth" to find within my room. Thanks!

FWIW,  My next , (and maybe last upgrade, except for acoustical treatments) may be going from my EAR 834P, MC/MM & Bob's Cinemag to the  K&K Maxxed Out w/ volume, since I have a vinyl only set-up.

I appreciated all of the responses.

When I first posted, I had recently received a pair of Usher Tiny Dancer Mini Ones. They were advertised as having 150 hours on them. I had put around 60 more hours before I posted.

What I feel to have been the issue for my post, is now gone. I believe it was the break-in period had not been substantial enough. Then, it seemed to take longer for one speaker than the other.

These speakers with the diamond tweeter, are so revealing (they replaced my BE-718s) that any tiny adjustment is noticed.
