    update: while listening to the nat king cole record and the prince record and observing the way the tonearm and cartridge and stylus moves, i noticed this: the tonearm moves up and down alot really fast mostly on the outer part of the record, this is not on all records, (i.e., when i play my deus record, the stylus and tonearm aren't going mad and i can play the record reasonably loud without the woofer pumping being there)

    does this have to do with the record, the tonearm, the cartridge or a bad adjustement??
    what do i have to do to minimize it??

    The behavior you have observed would suggest that a cartridge with a higher compliance would be very helpful. You could try one of the Shure's that have the stabilizer brush.
    I believe I mentioned earlier in this thread that there seemed to be a mismatch between the cartridge and tonearm.

    Agreed. Sounds like a mismatch.
