I changed my Thorens Td-160 for a Music Hall MMF-5 (not the newer 5.1 version), and after setting the TT balance, cartridge tracking force and anti-skating to get equal signals from the left and right channels, there are some quircks to the sound that get my attention too much to let me enjoy the music :
1) There seems to be static on the left side of the groove of most of my LPs (as I hear some pink noise coming from the extreme left), that gets going after a few second of play : when I put the cartridge down there is none for about 2 seconds, then it builds up in intensity and after 5 seconds it reaches annoying levels.
2) there is an on and off deep sound that comes while spinning records (usually once every turn, so I guess is it related to the records shape), but it's quite loud, even on flat records. On slightly warped records it quickly becomes unbearable.
How should I get rid of these things?
