Looking for some help with my TT journey.. Records are looping..

Hi all,

A while back i had posted about my experience with starting a record collection and enjoying my mofi turntable.  As of late my records have started to skip, well not actual skipping but looping on a groove.

I initially though it could be a dirty record, just tried with a new one and same issue. I though the tracking force could be off and just adjusted it as it did seem a bit heavy (+0.005) but i would not imagine this much.  

What other things should I look at, could it be my cartridge, my vta, my anti-skate?  I know a newb question but most posts i search said it is a dirty record, and i am sure it is not that.

Thanks K

One thing that's caused this for me is the height adjustment of the cue-bar.  If it were set too close in height to where the arm tube is while it tracks, on some records of a certain thickness it could see a repetitive skip if / when the arm makes contact with the cue bar.
Solution, of course was to re-adjust the cue bar height.
