In Reply to: RE: First, try to rule out groove damage to the LPs in question. posted by Opus 104 on March 14, 2012 at 14:41:59
It's happened on new LPs as well so it can't be groove damage.

mistracking, usually caused by biological contamination. Do you clean new LPs before playing? Try an enzyme cleaner?
It's been my experience that the 20XL is an excellent tracker.

Yup, I carefully clean all records before play (new and used) with an enzyme cleaner.
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!
