What album is it? What speed is it? 33 1/3, 45.
changing anti-skating with clear red vinyl?
Rega 3/24 and Elys 2 cartridge set up 15 months ago by a top audio retailer has been preforming great, through a Threshold FET nine. Two days ago I played for the first time an album pressed with clear red vinyl, and noticed a reproducible behavior of buzzing distortion on a few tracks. The weird thing is that the problem seemed to start with a new song...the previous track would play well, but as soon as the next song would play, distortion would start, as if something happened during the lead-in to the next song. The distortion would resolve when I lifted the tonearm and set it down.
Today I played the same album on my Rega 3 with an old Super Elys cartridge through a Marantz 2220B, my office system. It played fine.
I would call my audio retailer, and may, but I am sure that due to the season they are busy. I live a couple of hours away so it really isn't too convenient to run by. I am sure many of you in the Audiogon community will know what I need to do to get this really cool album to play.
So, friends, what do you think is happening, why, and how do I respond?
