When operating in digital with an MS2, it's about as smooth as can be. But when running in conventional/analog, slow speed starts are impossible, as it seems to jerk/hop/lurch forward until it gets up to cruising speed. I'm thinking about swapping the decoder anyway, but before I go down that path, does anyone have any other recommendations or thoughts?

Seriously though, some of the earlier decoder versions were not so good at analogue operation. This could be the issue here.
