Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP

Anyone having problems tracking the new Norah Jones LP, Live From Austin City Limits? Picked it up at Waterloo in Austin and can't track it with Linn Majik set-up. Indicate what TT, cartridge, arm you running and if you are seeing the problem. The BASS on cut 1 side 1 and on the LP in general is HUGE! Maybe a bad copy of the LP? Thanks

Of all the front ends listed, Swampwalker's should have the least amount of trouble tracking difficult passages. It's easily the best combination.

That would suggest some bad pressings are in the market.

This is not unusual for new and/or reissued vinyl.

To clarify, getting distortion and skipping on several of the cuts where the bass is very loud. I am tracking at the recommended 1.75 gms for the Adikit. Same problem at the max 2.0 gms.

The little sucker jumps right out of the grooves on the some of the bass notes; sometimes a good 3/16" of the radius. I do not use damping fluid on the Schroeder. Tracking at 1.8 gms.

Did you check the vinyl? Any track in particular besides the first? What pressing do you have?

Since Norah-One-Note-Jones, can only sing the one note, shouldn't be a problem.... Here a bit of one song, you've heard the whole LP.... :-)
