Hi Dillen,I wondered whether the din cable or the adapter to rca's might be at fault.Unfortunately,I have no spares,and the din is hardwired,as opposed to the 8000,which has fully removable cable.The cartridge{s} play fine on the 8000,also my Beosystem 7000,so I had ruled that out.I'll find another din/rca adapter and see if that helps.Other than that I'll have to ring out the din cable.Tracking angle and side to side settings appear to be the same as the other tables. Thanks again for your insight,I appreciate it. take care, spookd
