I recently got a record player that transfers music to my computer via USB cable. The first few days I had it, it sounded great and I picked up great recordings on my computer. But shortly thereafter, the sound quality became very poor. I normally leave it plugged into my stereo (It had great sound there too at first) and through both the stereo and computer the sound is bright, it echoes a little and the balance between different vocal lines and instrumental lines is terrible!
Could this be a problem with the needle? (Like I say, it's very new and doesn't get played A LOT.)
Are my records in bad shape?
