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.
