Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops


Nothing major, but annoying.

Could it be because I was spinning old dirty vinyl which made the platter dirty/dusty?

I'm about to buy the humminguru. Does anything go well with it?

jj, if I may be familiar, this is your third thread on the subject. May I suggest you get your Humminguru and then proceed from there? I do mean this in the friendliest way, as you have had the advice of all of us several times over. There's little point in flogging a dead record cleaner.

Look, jj, even clean records can have static. Two separate issues.

Cleaning is the biggest benefit.

After that, deal with static. The best way known to mankind is, sadly (one does not like to support a company selling fake junk), the Furutech Destat III. All the same, do not save up for this until you can get your disks clean. There are cheaper ways of reducing static (Zerostat, brushes etc) but they don't work as well.

Hey, dogberry,

Are you saying the Furutech Destat III is fake junk?

???

No, but there are Furutech products that I would classify that way. The Destat III is effective and expensive. The Milty Zerostat is a bit less effective, harder to use correctly, but a lot cheaper.
