Thanks. Was able to sort this out by tweaking some settings on the anthem mrx 700 after speaking with the anthem customer service. Plus, i think there was also some lint stuck to the edge of the needle, so when i cleaned the needle, the turntable sq improved immediately. The reason i was able to identify that issue was that after a point the turntable started slipping compketely andt then i noticed a piece of lint stuck to the needle. So i am guessing the lint had started gathering on the needle for some timenow. I think it came from the felt mat that comes with the audio technica turntable.
