Have a look at this: www.ionaudio.com/products/details/ict04rs I assume that's how it's supposed to look. I would also be concerned with faulty equipment, so better be careful. What MIGHT be another problem though is faulty vinyl pressings. My first A&E single sounded terrible. The slower brass part was unbearably flutter-y and going in and out of pitch. I also had a similar problem when my turntable's counterweight was set up wrong. Maybe check that, if your player has one. Should be in the manual. Another good idea is to get some really cheap old used record to use as a test record when setting up your turntable. /T

I went and looked in the hifi shop today (where they have my model of turntable out on display) and the needle is supposed to be bent, i'm an idiot When i got home i took out my needle and tried to give it a wee dust (which the guy in the shop suggested i did), then i tried playing the Magic Position 7" and it sounded fine. So i tried playing the D side of Riverlight, and it seems to sound all right now. I was playing the digital version at the same time to try and compare, and the vinyl was playing ever so slightly faster (about a second or less out by the end of the song). But that probably doesn't mean anything So everything seems to be alright at the moment but i'm a bit worried about what happened yesterday - i'm pretty sure i didn't imagine it sounding that out of tune (unless i'm going crazy!) Hoping it doesn't do that again I don't think i have a counterweight (it's not mentioned anywhere in the manual anyway).
