| Turntable hissing Yes as viridian said… isolate the source of the buzz. My VPI Classic 3 sig developed a buzz in the motor which disappeared with lubrication. | |
| Time for a new cartridge I would still send your cartridge to VdH but ALSO try something else. My recommendation is a Vas Nova and you can upgrade the standard to better cantilever and stylus if you desire. Harry from VPI recommends. | |
| Do any McIntosh preamps have non digital filter for bass and treble? The C70 anniversary as well as the latest C22 models are promoted as all analog preamps. They both have tone control bypass switches for your convenience. | |

| I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts. I have the basic Clearaudio Matrix which replaced a VPI HW-17. The clearaudio had a smaller footprint along with manual brushing and I hoped it would be quieter. I prefer the manual brushing. I was using the clearaudio brand fluid but importing be... | |
