Is this amount of record/tonearm bobbing "normal"


Most records sound fine, but a few of them (shoegaze, Interpol) with extended chords sound bad, uneven.

This could all be in my head. I'm new to this.

Kindly take a look at a brief video and tell me whether my platter is warped?

Thanks for the feedback. In this case there is a lower platter, an upper platter, a mat, and the record. The lower platter is about 48 hundredths "tall" and you can see it in this video:

The runout (probably the wrong word) seems like it's about ~three hundredths. 

I can hear it on some records. I guess my choices are a new platter or a better turntable.

 

Yes, millercarbon, it is a graham tonearm. I love it.
