why is it that on some records, sound terrible??


why is it that on some records, that when you get towards the end of one side the sound of the record changes big time. were it sounds terrible, but the first few songs sounded great.

Is it the recording?
Is it the pressing process?
Is it my set up? (but not all my records to do this)

thx

Could be cartridge alignment. When I align mine, using the Linn template, I check the alignment both at both outer rim and interior to get it right.

Another common snafu is dirt/dust can accumulate on the stylus as the record plays, particularly if the record was just cleaned and is still damp and sound deteriorates accordingly until deposits are removed.
