Cueing issue

Sometimes when cueing up a lp, there is seemingly an issue where the stylus doesn't connect fully to the record. Everything is set up correctly, VTF, VTA.......Was wondering if any of you have had a similar issue?

@slaw -- Alphason HR100S.  It's also something that doesn't keep me up nights...

Seems unlikely, but sounds like what might happen if the stylus just happens to catch a speck of dust just right. After a few seconds, or if you lift, its gone. Have you been able to look real close while its doing this? Sounds like might be too brief amount of time...

What about not hitting the lead-in groove correctly?

noromance --  Even though for the life of me I can't see how it could occur, I believe you're on to something.  The problem does seem to happen more often at the lead-in groove.
