skipping

    Was my vintage CD players' skipping problem that they weren't perfectly level?

    I have two 1980s CD players: a Sony CDP-210es and a Kyocera DA-310cx. I like the way they sound, though both have had occasional skipping problems. I was away for a couple of months, and when I came back, both were skipping worse. Letting them warm back up didn't help much. I read up on cleaning...

    help - Thorens TD165 suddenly started skipping and dirty sound

    Hi everyone My late dad left me his Thorens TD165 and I have been using it for the past 5 years or so. It has a Pickering v-15 micro IV. Since I've been using it the sound has been never crystal-clear, but it was quite decent and reliable nonetheless. Until one afternoon a couple of days ago...

    AT-VM95ML shaking, jumping out of grooves

    Hi AK users! I have an AT-LP120X turntable (for 6-7 months now) and I've been happy with it so far. I loved the sound of the original AT-VM95E cart that it came with, but it had horrible inner groove distortion, so that's why I planned buying a MicroLine instead. I bought an AT-VM95ML, and a...

    Pioneer PL-516 - Stylus Jumping Grooves

    I didn't see a general troubleshooting thread, so apologies ahead of time if there is one. I have a Pioneer PL-516 that looks to be in pretty good condition. Clean belt, well oiled parts, proper cartridge/stylus placement (49mm), balanced tonearm, etc. However, when I put a record on, I hear a...

    JVC L-A55 tonearm resistance issue

    I've got a JVC L-A55 table in the shop right now, and this thing has me stumped. When I first began messing with this table there was so much resistance in the first quarter of the tonearm's arc, that it wouldn't move at all under normal operation. I've re-lubed the auto return mechanism...

    Isolating my turntable from footfall

    Hope you're all doing well. I just moved into an apartment with extremely bouncy wood floors and it's wreaking havoc on my suspension turntable. I already know that mounting it to the wall will fix the problem, but I'm not crazy about how that would look. Could really heavy duty feet on my rack...

    Issues with skipping on inner grooves and dead wax.

    Hey everyone. I just upgraded from a Jelco SA-750D to a TK-850S and I'm running into a problem. Since installing the new arm a couple days ago, I've found that records are prone to skipping in the inner grooves. Also, rather than tracking through the run off toward the label, the stylus jumps...

    Fat Lip Causes Skating

    I have a few records where the rim at the edge is rather bulbous and causes the needle to skate in. Sometime it's so bad, it will skate in two or three revolutions into the music. I usually set my needle down on the stopped record and then turn on the turntable. I'm tracking at 1.5 grams and I...

    Dual 1226 TT skipping.

    Hello all, I just scored a 1226 Dual TT for 50.00 yesterday from the tech shop working on my Sansui 8080. “One owner” it was his brothers. Not original dust cover but looks nice either way. I played 3 records on it so far after he told me to lock the arm down and hit start to reset it after...

    Walking Gingerly Around My New Sansui FR-3060, Help

    I just got a new to me FR-3060 and put exactly where my old Technics lived. I installed a Grado Prestige Black exactly like my old Technics had. I set the tracking force to 1.65 grams exactly like I did on my Technics. However, the Sansui skips if you look at it wrong as you walk by unlike my...

    This will most likely be longer than a few paragraphs, but my journey in finding the right sort of dampening agents to stop resonance and skipping due to floor bounce was lengthy, but hopefully helpful. This post is not for audiophiles, but for someone who is either a novice TT owner, or a...

    Denon DCD 1420 : KSS 210A laser lens = disc play over 74 minutes?

    Hello everyone! This is my first post in Audiokarma. I own a Denon DCD 1420 cd player since November 1989. I really enjoyed it over the years, but now it shows its age - it seems the laser is dying slowly. The only issue I got with it is that it cannot play a CD whose length exceeds 74...
