When playing an LP, the sound gets smoother and more musical on the last couple of tracks. Not that it is bad at the beginning, only that it is better at the end. Any ideas why this is so and how to achieve the same sound at the beginning?
It's possible that the tonearm/cartridge is not adjusted probably. It's been awhile since I used a turntable but I am sure someone will come up with the proper adjustment procedure.
Due to the decreased radius of curvature and the increasing distance from the second point of tangency in a conventionally aligned system the physics of the thing would indicate that the inner grooves would be prone to the greatest distortion and would be the hardest to track. In my practical experience this has always been true. Have you tried one of the many excellent alignment gauges on the market?
