Thanks for the advice. That makes a lot of sense to me and now I have a plan of action. Although I haven't been hurting my records I admit I've broken down and used my table a time or two. But I'm really looking forward to not hearing that scraping when the last song fades.

Thanks for helping. I just saw your response today and I apologize for my lateness but I was expecting an email saying I had a response. If you could give me some instructions on how to adjust I'd give it a whirl. It's a shame the platter can't handle the extra weight. I'm not a tech so please give as detailed a description as possible

I just got your message today. Thanks for responding. I thought I'd get an email letting me know someone had responded but just happened to check today anyway. Thanks but I'm not a silver or gold member. I have my original manual but no info on suspension adjustments. If anyone can give me specific instructions I'll try to work on it.

While playing a 180 gram album there sometimes is a scraping sound during the last inch or so of the album. This continues even after raising the arm but stops after the arm returns a bit toward the album's outer edge. It seems to be the platter hitting something underneath due to the much heavier album. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

I'm experimenting with a Carver c11 preamp and the phono input has a 0, 180, and 390 pF setting. Which one would match my MMC2 cartridge? Pardon my ignorance.

I just got it today. I have to manually load cd [label side down]. Display shows "play" and "1". Sounds like it's trying to cycle or load but no sound. Any ideas?
