Buzzing with HFN Test Lp II

Hi everyone,

I just received the new version of the HiFi News Test Lp. Everything is ok with respect to the test tracks except one. I have a big buzzing sound from my RIGHT speaker with track 8, Side 1, which tests anti-skating. Apparently, this means that my anti-skating is off. The first 2 tests for it are fine. But, no matter what anti-skating I apply, track 8 is just buzzing loud as hell. Now let me get this straight, I want the tonearm to be skating AWAY from the center of the record, right? Or just not skating at all? I dunno, my main concern is record wear. I just bought some brand new LPs and I really dont want to mess them up.

Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

Hi Onhwy61,

Thanks for the info. Whew, I was worried there. I haven't been playing any of my prized LPs because I didn't want to ruin them. I am using a Moerch UP-4 unipivot tonearm with the Green dot armtube(lightest) and a Stanton CS-100 MM cartridge. Do you set your arm to skate outwards or just enought to not move inwards toward the spindle?

Again, Thanks in advance for any additional info.

Happy Thanksgiving!
