Tracking error or ??

@daveyf If you’re considering an arm
replacement keep the AMG 9W2 9" tonearm in mind. Available with Linn geometry it would be a drop in unless the Keel is utilized with it’s specific collar mount. Their overall lightweight, ultimate rigidity & adjustability make them an easy recommendation for a softly sprung ‘table. I use one on my Swiss built TD-150 with great results.

I’ve experienced stellar performance from WT setups regardless of them being less than perfect, and yes maybe the Kleos isn’t the best choice for it. Dynavector seems to be the fit.

While A/S is an obvious consideration for getting your Kleos to be intimate with the outer groove wall, also consider azimuth as the two are closely related.

It was also be advisable to confirm your recently jack-hammered Way out West LP is OK by tracking that passage with another pickup or two.

@boothroyd Some good suggestions there. This is probably a time when it would pay to have two turntable set ups. 

Did you have the Kuzma 4 point 9? If so, was it on the LP12?

I had both the 4 Point 9 and the 11 inch 4 Point. I preferred the standard 11 inch. Neither were on the LP12, but a Kuzma Stabi Reference. The Ekos SE was on the LP12. The PU7 was also on the Kuzma, and the PTP Solid 9 which replaced it. The PU7 sounded better than the 4 Point on the Kuzma turntable.

I'm not sure what you mean by "more adjustment" in relation to the PU7. It doesn't have the VTA tower of the 4 Point but every parameter is certainly adjustable and it sounds superb.

It was also be advisable to confirm your recently jack-hammered Way out West LP is OK by tracking that passage with another pickup or two.

I like this idea above from @boothroyd. Do you have any local audio buddies with vinyl rigs that you could play that same passage to see if it mistracks on their set up?

If it’s not an A/S issue, could it possibly just be a bad vinyl pressing? It seems as though you do not have this issue on the majority of your other LP’s.

As a side note.... I have the original Naim ARO on my LP12 and absolutely love it!  I'm happy to see that Naim is resurrecting this great arm.

Best wishes,
Don

@daveyf I just got through listening to the second side of Way Out West with my Lyra Kleos SL and heard no distortion as what you're describing. If the arm and cartridge sounds good with everything else it's very likely just a bad/worn pressing, vinyl is an imperfect medium.
Sometimes we are too quick to replace tonearm, cartridge, etc., work on your settings, something might be a little off and needing a little more attention.
