Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP


Anyone having problems tracking the new Norah Jones LP, Live From Austin City Limits? Picked it up at Waterloo in Austin and can't track it with Linn Majik set-up. Indicate what TT, cartridge, arm you running and if you are seeing the problem. The BASS on cut 1 side 1 and on the LP in general is HUGE! Maybe a bad copy of the LP? Thanks

Madfloyd..if the VPI sounds horrible, it is not the result of damping...that puts the "finishing touches" on to a properly set up and running turntable.
Madfloyd. The damping fluid is for damping the arm. If you take the VPI arm off of its mount, there is a small cup=like affair with that big spike that holds your arm. That is where the fluid goes. Whether to use fluid at all is up to you. You didn't mention your cartridge, but, first listen carefully to a record just as is. Then remove the arm (no need to unplug it if you're careful), and put in that damping fluid 1 drop at a time while listening. It will probably ( with many cartridges) get better and better as you add drops of the fluid and relistening all the time. There will then be a point after a few drops, that the sound will become stuffy and less good. Take a toothpick, or a cotton swab and remove that extra drop of fluid. Voila!!
