seems to play a record ok for a few mins then suddenly it keeps playing on a loop..tried different needles and records to eliminate possible causes..is it the cartridge? any ideas would b appreciated

Answer 1

It's important that you correctly balance the weight of your tonearm, using the counterweight in the back of the arm.

First, move round until the arm is in a balance, then set the graduated ring to zero, and move round the weight to add betwen 1,5 and 2 grams.

To end, adjust the anti skate button to the same number you assigned the weight.

It should play correctly every vynil record!

Answer 2

sounds like a setting may be off on the turntable, maybe anti skate or tracking
