RE: Really? I've heard brand new records with noise and signs of

Mistracking can be caused by a number of problems. Arm mismatch is one of them, but the Dynavector should work in a medium mass arm. You said you tried added weight but you did not say what weight you were tracking at. Too light a tracking is the most common problem.

Improper anti-skate can also cause mistracking. What is your anti-skate set at? Did you verify it with a test record?

Bad alignment can do it too. How did you align your cartridge?

Also, damage could be the problem. You should inspect the cantilever and stylus for misalignments. Check the arm bearings for free play and slop.

Good luck!
