Fuzzy distortion on vinyl........Stylus issue?

@badger_erich

how close are your speakers to your turntable?
what sort of rack is your turntable sitting on?

assuming you know that this vinyl has not already had the grooves damaged.......

that fuzzy sort of sound might be an extreme case of feedback from the music. one easy way to check that out would be if you have a set of headphones that you could listen to the vinyl playback with your amplifier off and your speakers silent. if you still have that fuzzy sound then it’s your cartridge or set-up, or maybe a bad bearing in your arm, or even maybe the arm bearing is not properly seated in the bearing cup....or the tone arm base might be loose, or the arm board might be loose.

anyway, those would be the first things i would check.

badger_erich,

honestly you are giving Wisconsin grad vinyl lovers a bad name.

did you read any of the suggestions and check any of the ideas suggested to check? or do you just post a question and then ignore it all?

is anything loose? did you even look? tug on things? look for cause and effect?

come’on man, let’s get with it!

or maybe just stick with digital.
