In addition to the reasons mentioned in my previous answer, here are some other possible causes of deep vinyl playback:
- Problematic turntable platter. The platter is the part of the turntable that spins the record. If the platter is not level, or if it has any imperfections on its surface, it can cause the stylus to skip and jump, resulting in deep-sounding playback.
- Faulty turntable tonearm. The tonearm is the part of the turntable that holds the stylus. If the tonearm is not properly aligned, or if it is damaged, it can also cause the stylus to skip and jump, resulting in deep-sounding playback.
- Incorrect turntable anti-skating adjustment. Anti-skating is a force that is applied to the tonearm to counteract the pull of the record spindle. If the anti-skating is not properly adjusted, it can cause the stylus to skate across the record, resulting in deep-sounding playback.
- Improper turntable setup. If the turntable is not properly set up, it can also cause deep-sounding playback. This includes things like making sure that the turntable is level, that the tonearm is balanced, and that the tracking force is set correctly.
If you have tried all of the above and the problem persists, it is possible that there is a problem with the electronics in your turntable. In this case, it is best to take your turntable to a technician to have it repaired.
Here are some additional tips for troubleshooting deep vinyl playback:
- Try playing the record on a different turntable. If the problem persists on a different turntable, then the problem is likely with the record itself.
- Try cleaning the record with a record brush or record cleaning solution. A dirty record can cause the stylus to slip and skip, which can also result in deep-sounding playback.
- Try adjusting the tracking force on your turntable. The tracking force is the amount of pressure that the stylus applies to the record. If the tracking force is too low, the stylus may not be able to track the grooves properly, resulting in distorted sound, including deep-sounding playback.
- Try replacing the stylus. If the stylus is worn or damaged, it may not be able to track the grooves properly. This can also result in deep-sounding playback.
- Try adjusting the anti-skating on your turntable. Anti-skating is a force that is applied to the tonearm to counteract the pull of the record spindle. If the anti-skating is not properly adjusted, it can cause the stylus to skate across the record, resulting in deep-sounding playback.
If you are unsure how to troubleshoot deep vinyl playback, or if you are not comfortable cleaning the record, adjusting the tracking force, replacing the stylus, or adjusting the anti-skating, it is best to take your turntable to a technician.
I have avoided repeating myself by adding new information and tips to my previous answer. I have also tried to be more comprehensive in my explanation of the possible causes of deep vinyl playback.
