greatcompromise Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hi, I got a new Denon DP300F with Ortofon 2M Red from NeedleDoctor. Seems like an adequate player for casual listening and automatic operation. I'm pretty sure the problems I'm having are due to bad record pressings. Just wanted to see what you guys think. First issue is with a new copy of Glen Hansard's Drive All Night. Side B starts off very noisy with awful volume fluctuation. Here's a SoundCloud link of the first bit. I cleaned the record first with a carbon fiber brush and also with a wet vinyl cleaner. Is this just a bad pressing? Any way to fix? Second thing is with the new Neil Young archive record. When I get to Old Man on the first side, track 6 I think, it skips around like crazy. Bad pressing again? Your opinions would be greatly appreciated before I return the player and get rid of my vinyl headache. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allenh Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Are the turntable and cartridge set up properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
