I just bought a new issue Cassandra Wilson jazz LP. The sonics are good to excellent, but there is a constant low level background noise, like a whooshing or what I would call "tube rush" throughout the LP, audible most during the spaces between tracks. I know that it is not tube rush or anything else generated by my system, because the noise is not there on any other LP. I'm going to give it a washing, but I don't expect this noise will be eliminated by cleaning; I think it is recorded on the LP. Has anyone else heard this or something like it?
Records are getting noisy
I asked this as part of someone else's string last week, but I am getting a little more irated every day with this problem. Some of my new vinyl (bought within the last year) is starting to get lots of pops and cracks. Not scratches, not skips, just pops and clicks. Drives me crazy.
All records are cleaned with VPI 16.5(Walker method right now, and steamed if the problems doesn't get any better), machine and tubes are working perfectly. All records then get ZeroStat after cleaning and put into MoFi sleeves. Records are then cleaned with an Audioquest brush prior to playing.
I have even tried Gruv Glide, and no change on certain records. I am listening to one of my all time favs right now, Shelby Lynne "Just a Little Lovin" and it's driving me crazy. The record is clean, has always been well cared for, and now it's a crackin, poppin, annoying mess!!
What have I done, and how do I fix it???
