hudofthedead Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 So I got a record yesterday and it sounds great till I put side b on and it has this wobbly distorted sound thats real easy to notice when the guitars hold a note for any length of time. It makes the music sound so bad. I've had a look at the needle as it travels the grooves and it does sway from left to right quite a bit, is side b buggerd? Any way to sort this out? :-[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mynameisdan Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 my kylesa album looked like a bowl when i got it. i left it on the radiator and put a book on top and it settled down in a couple hours. its fine now. i dont know if this is the same problem that youre having.

hudofthedead Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 The record seems pretty flat, if it was a skating problem I guess this would happen on side a and other records too, will give the tutorial a go anyway as it can't hurt. I just can't see what could be wrong apart from the amount of left-right travel the needle does each rotation. I've checked it for any physical defects but its perfect looking, bah sucks big time! I've done a search to see if any other slapstick lp's have had this problem but theres nowt :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
