Why do my albums sound better at the end???


When playing an LP, the sound gets smoother and more musical on the last couple of tracks. Not that it is bad at the beginning, only that it is better at the end. Any ideas why this is so and how to achieve the same sound at the beginning?

It is a Wilson Benesch Act 2 table and arm with an Analog cartridge. I set the alignment with the tool that came with the table and compared to a Geodisc, and several 2 point protractors and all seems OK. I used a Stereo Review disc to set antiskating the HFN&RR disc with a voltmeter to set the azimuth a la Michael Fremmer. The speed has been checked with a K&B strobe and the tracking force set with a Winds gauge. It has a nude elliptic stylus. Whatever that means.

I was just thinking that someone may have seen this before and could say something like "oh yeah, that means your cartridge is twisted slightly this way or that" or "that means the antiskate is too high or low". I'll check it all again. All ideas are appreciated.
Thanks to all for your responses. I have made slight adjustments to tracking force and to the anti skating and this seems to have helped.
