why is it that on some records, sound terrible??


why is it that on some records, that when you get towards the end of one side the sound of the record changes big time. were it sounds terrible, but the first few songs sounded great.

Is it the recording?
Is it the pressing process?
Is it my set up? (but not all my records to do this)

Mostly your setup. Use something like the MintLp cartridge setup tool to minimize tracking errors throughout range of travel. Some of the problem may also be pressing and recording issues.
Sounds (no pun intended) like your cartridge isn't set up properly. Different music very conceivably would be affected to differing degrees, which would explain why some records seem not to have the problem.
