It can be a sign of a bad mastering of a recording. If the spacing on the cutting lathe was too tight, the cut extends too close to the previous groove. Just recently heard this on an Atlantic recording of Milt Jackson and John Coltrane. Always disappointing.
Cartridge alignment question/problem
I have noticed on a couple of turntables, a few different arms and cartridges the following phenomena...during quiet portions of the recording (either during transition between tracks of transition from quiet to loud) that I can hear faintly in the background a "preview" of what the record will play on the next revolution. Basically I think what is happening is that the cartridge is somehow detecting the grooves in the next innermost rotation. I suspect that I have some sort of alignment problem but am not so sure given the fact that I heard this on various setups of mine...which of course could mean that I have been consistently wrong. I have used jigs and protractors etc on each.
Any thoughts from the learned on what could be causing this?
Thanks
