Records with words with the letter S are slurred

I know this must be here somewhere but there is a lot to go through so I am asking the question.
Why does a turntable slur words with a s? This does not do it with all my records but when it does it is very annoying

Maybe recheck your setup. If with other sources and/or all sources, then speakers, cables, speaker room placement, plus a lot more.

Set the tracking force and anti skate, then play the problematic album and listen to determine if it sounds better or worse. Also remember that some singers have a lisp. Best of luck.
