yeah, i read about that record on one of the links you gave me, but then ignored the rest of it since i didnt have that record. i will look into getting one. wanna know something funny? i pulled out my discwasher and then tried the record again and the needle moved along. there is still one thing that still concerns me. on another forum someone told me that when i have my needle floating above the platter and i add more anti-skating, i should see the tonearm move towards the spindle. my tonearm doesn't do that. should i look into this "problem"?
