Turntable RCA cables

Hey guys my tone feedback circles are good but on my back spin on one turntable it tends to not track as well... Switched turntable needle and everything worked fine... So I'm assuming this is an RCA issue?

Geez I apologize... I meant I switched the needle and still had similar issue with it not trackin on fast movements etc... Played around with calibration latency was fine etc... Only thing I can see is RCA cables right?

what kind of turntable are you using, it could even be your tonearm and the bearings

Yup same everything technics 1200s rcas are soldered in... There's no ground as it is wired into one of the RCA cables etc

so you switched the headshell/cartridge or just the stylus? i doubt its an RCA problem. it really sounds like a bad stylus. you could also clean the pins inside the tonearm, use rubbing alcohol, or the good stuff, caig detoxit gold, but i highly doubt its that too. but a lil cleaning doesnt hurt.

check if your tonearm has any "play", ie if you push the tone arm and pull, if you see any sort of play, you need to adjust the screws for the bearings, but do it slowly as those bearings are fragile, and your settings are the same on both tables? ie height and weight? and have you tried it with a regular record to see if it skips too?
