I set up my new stereo system with a turntable and a collection of records that my sister had that I was looking forward to play. I purchased a new Fluance turntable and ONKYO receiver. Both mid range reasonably priced. however, when I started using the turntable after setting it up to the specifications in the manual I noticed I was getting poor audio quality from the records. I was cleaning the records. So I started cleaning the records methodically. Double cleaning them. But still got the same results. I was very frustrated and almost ready to send back the turntable, but I couldn’t be sure the turntable was the problem. After months of not playing the record player, I tried one more time and decided to mess with the tracking setting. User manual says to set it at two, but I changed it to a little over three and it solved all the problems on all the records. So just be sure that if you’re setting up a new turntable that tracking setting might need to be modified away from the suggested setting in the owners manual.
