| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops Is the cartridge body touching the LP when you hear "flubbing"? Which is what I asked earlier. If yes, then yes there may be a problem with your new blue stylus. Its suspension may have collapsed. This could be because it was defective from new ... | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops "Flubbing" does sound like something other than static electricity problem. Look very carefully for things that may be touching each other that normally should not be touching. Best to get a knowledgeable friend to visit your home and take a look... | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops JJ, Are you saying that you have other older LPs that play perfectly routinely without ticks and pops? Because your problem seems typical for static electricity in your environment. What steps do you take to reduce static electric charge on your... | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops What about you, Abner? | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops Start with static electricity in your environment. | |
| Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops What are the odds? Either all your new LPs are flawed or you have a local problem with your system. I'd go with the latter. Figure it out. | |
| Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US? 4 posts yield 3 dealers for Schroeder, all of them top quality people. You don't have a problem. | |
| Schroder Tonearms - where do I purchase? are there authorized sellers in US? Mijostyn can help you. He's been there, done that, with Schroeder. | |
| Yamaha GT-2000 from Japan or local TD-125? Any vendor is obligated to reveal details of shipping to various parts of the world and cost. eBay requires that information to be displayed. So there should be no issue except to look at the seller feedback to see whether they have a history of c... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Pindac, I thought you were never going to respond again to one of my posts? How dreary that you cannot resist. First, I never said slate was superior to Panzerholz. Second, neither OMA nor the British company to whom you refer was first to use s... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Ok. From now on I will accept your pronouncements without question. But I won’t be able to reproduce your data for slate or any other material, because you refuse to explain your methodology. Also, in what way are you not a “layman” when it comes ... | |
| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? An LP can never be as quiet as a CD in terms of low frequency noise, because RBCDs have a brick wall filter at around 20Hz; there is nothing below that frequency on a CD. Which is one reason I DON"T like CDs. That emphatic dead silent and abrupt ... | |
| SUT With a Manley Steelhead RC? In all cases, at all settings, my Steelhead is very quiet. So (Snackey), I am wondering whence comes the noise you say was bothersome when you set gain at 65db via the MM inputs. Try reducing the gain setting in 5-db increments until you get to a... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project And your method for arriving at a numerical damping factor with plinth materials, Pindac? We also have to ask where is all this spurious energy coming from? Also keep in mind that European slate is different from Pennsylvania slate, just as PA sl... | |
| SUT With a Manley Steelhead RC? I am quite sure that some other company makes or made the Koetsu SUT for Koetsu, and then slapped the Koetsu name on the product. Just like the Koetsu tonearm was made for them by Jelco. Audio Note (Japan or UK) is a fairly wide ranging enterpris... |
