i bought a rega p3-24 with pre-installed elys cartridge. the man in the shop set up the bias adjustment for me. i have it connected to quad 99 pre-amp's phono stage. from there it goes to wharfedale diamond 8.2 active monitors.
so, the problem is following: on the outer rims of any LP i play it starts playing normally and then after about 20 seconds into playing the left channel of the recording gradually quickly gets extremely distorted and just goes to silence and randomly plays the recording through noise/distortion. the right channel is ok all of the time. but on the inner rim of the LP this thing doesn't happen.
i have to note that all of my records are very old and all of them are at least a little warped. also, i've noticed that the plate of the p3 while i watch it spinning isn't spinning 100% leveled horizontally. very near, but not 100% leveled. is this normal or do i have a faulty p3?
help me please.
