It may be worth noting that (at least in my experience) different record
players like different records. I have the same belt-driven Dual at home
that they have at the FatCat offices and it is very temperamental when it
comes to playing loud pressings, but quite nice when it plays an LP.

When was the last time you checked your tracking? (Correct weight per
cartridge as indicated on the packaging or on their website + correct
tone arm alignment for your 1210s (I'm guessing, but whatever turntables
you have...)
I'm not saying that you haven't come across some particularly
'problematic' pressings recently, it's just that incorrectly set up
tables will exacerbate such problems to the point that they're
noticeable, whereas well set-up ones a likely to play those records OK.
You might notice some errors if you're a golden-eared audiophile, but
there wouldn't be any skipping...
Just a thought, don't shoot!
