@scar972 I doubt it is the record. The other records i played that night were all fine, but this LP has more dynamics and modulations in the groove than those. While the record could be damaged now, I don't think it was before I played it that night. It is certainly a record that i have played before in the past, with my prior Benz Ruby 2 with no issues. However, the Lyra requires a far more precise set up than the Benz...and is a lot less forgiving than that cartridge.
I will try and confirm how the record is with another a'phile friends set up, unfortunately with Covid, there still seems to be some hesitancy to meet others ( not so much from me). We shall see.
I will report back once I have played some more vinyl, since I have now slightly increased my A/S. Hopefully this is the answer and my LP is fine ( the pressing is an AP limited edition ( awesome sounding LP)--so I do not want to have to replace it!)
