LP pressing fault or set up issue?

Posted by nevillekapadia (A) on March 7, 2010 at 03:08:12

Venturing into analog, I find that on some brand new LP's a terrible distorion/break up of sound from the left channel, occassionally appearing twice or thrice on a playing side. 2 LP's so far, Willie Nelson - 180g American Classics and a standard reissue of C. Adderly - Something Else both purchased from Amazon. (I guess not worth the return if it is an LP issue as I live in Australia)

Initially when new the break of sound appears, but only on the left channel.

The sound reminds you of the crackle you get when you switch off a tube amp with the source still playing as the power dies out of the amps.

Please could fellow asylum members educate me with their findings on this situation.

Could this be an alignment issue?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
