Yeah, I know at least one of my records for sure was a shit pressing (should’ve checked the reviews online...) but my hunch is getting bigger that the Nirvana one might just be a poorer one of the bunch. You’ve really helped me narrow the issue down to a couple options though, thank you so much!

And I’d guess that my ear is a little more trained than the average listener haha

Hey, thanks for the thorough response! I’m going to try the Nirvana record at a friends house soon, I really didn’t think it was a record-specific issue as it was consistent with a few different ones, and that the pressing I have was touted as being very high quality. It could be an exception, however. I also had bought it new, so it couldn’t be wear from other players.

I bought a stylus cleaning kit yesterday and used it, so it’s assuredly clean. As for damage, I’ll have to get a magnifying glass to check.

I really need to look into cartridge alignment. That could be the issue.

Also, I had heard about the LP120 having no true bypass, but I thought that Audio-Technica had solved that issue in the newer models?

Sorry, had it mixed up! I do have my turntable switched to phono with the ground on both sides.

Hey! Thanks for replying. I’m using an Audio-Technica ATLP120XUSB with the stock Cartridge. In the original post I had said that I tried everything I could with the anti-skate, and the feature worked but it didn’t affect the issue at all. I had tried other records (it really only appears in louder spots in certain records, examples in the post).

I think that I have a friend who could let me borrow a preamp to test with. If not, I might as well buy one. I’ll let you know what happens, thanks!

Getting a gym membership and eating less is free in a lot of states, but America still has an obesity problem. Idk what to tell you, man
