Guest Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Anyone else have problem with this record skipping really bad? I think it skipped 10 times just in the first song on the A-side, so I turned it off and cleaned it, and it didn't fix the issue. Was wondering if the press might be bad, or if I just got a fucked up copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deafmx Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 i didn't notice any skips on the one play i gave it. might have gotten a bad copy. edit: listening right now. no skips yet. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering if the press might be bad, or if I just got a fucked up copy. is this from hot topic? if so I wouldnt be surprised that it skips on the first track 10 times or so. I recently bought NIN-Pretty Hate Machine at a HT and the first song had the same exact issue as yours with the skipping, but it being 100% clean and no scratches. They were nice enough to take it back the next day and i got a new one. Brought that home and it skipped in the same exact places! I kept it cause I didnt feel like wasting another $7 in gas to go back. I asked Travis if he has heard an issues about the NIN and he said not that he was aware of.

mindovermatter Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'd triple check your counterweight and anti-skating - assuming your record player has them - because that tends to be the culprit most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deafmx Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 my NIN PHM single LP also skips and pops like crazy. pressed at United, not surprised in the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just adjusted it the other day when I got a bunch of new records, because I've neglected the player for a few weeks. And yeah, I got it off HT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 So, debating buying another or trying to return it/exchange it to hottopic.com. Anyone know if they do returns on vinyl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njpunkmusic Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I returned mine to the store, but it was literally the next day after I bought it there and I called to ask that night as soon as I listened to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
