Here's a weird problem: The tonearm lift on my turntable (almost new) doesn't lower the arm perfectly vertical. It always lowers the tonearm to the outside (left), making it very hard to line things up when spinning a record. Help!!
It sounds as if you have the anti-skating set high enough that it is causing the arm to slide on the arm lift as it is lowered. On many turntables, setting the anti-skating as specified in the manual is too much.
Yeah tonearms which slide off to the side can be a PITA. Best is to just learn how to precompensate. PRACTICE with starting a bit over too far, and learn what it takes to land just right. If it is consistent, then you are gonna be fine.
