I’ll agree with you so that both of us are wrong.
I have an Audio-Technica turntable that has been acting up lately and I have been unable to fix the problem. The record will play fine for about 5 minutes (this is very consistent) and then it starts cutting in and out, almost skipping but not like a normal record skip. At first I thought it might have to do with the tracking as the needle worked it's way closer to the center but that is not the case. Once this issue starts up, I can flip the record over and it will continue skipping on the very first track. I have re calibrated the tone arm and tracking several times. I replaced the original cartridge and headshell with an Ortofon 2M red about a year ago and it has always worked great up until recently. I have made sure all of the connections are solid on the cartridge. I have also changed the input on the receiver to make sure that wasn't the issue. I doubt that he needle is worn since I only occasionally listen to records. It really seems odd that the issue almost always starts up right about the 5 minute mark of playing time.
If anyone has any words of advice, I would appreciate it. Here is a sample of what the "skipping" sounds like.
