Embedded rumble... on LP's that is...


Yesterday evening I pulled out Austrid Gilberto's "Beach Samba" on Verve (original pressing) to just sit back and relax. With cans on my ears I lowered the arm onto the vinyl to start my session.
As you might know I have developed the turntable that I use myself. After track one I noticed a very distinct high-pitch reverb noise - quiet passage between the first and second track. I immediatly investigated and was worried that it is my machines main bearing inducing this foreign noise.

It turned out to be on the above mentioned record.

Now you tell me - Could the record cutting lathe have induced this noise on the master disk? Other records do not have that particular sound/noise - I checked.

If the mastering equipment is bad then I guess the end-product will also be bad hey?

Just a thought...

Newbee, I thought that was subsonic filtering, taming the woofer's untimely excursions.
