While visiting Walker audio I witnessed an interesting technique. Using a Audioquest style carbon fiber brush the record is brushed as usuall then he flicks the brush(maybe rechrging it) and momentarily touched the lp surface and then sweeps it up the tonearm from armrest to approx. 2in. from the cartridge. This is all done in a fluid motion. I was suffering with eratic static problem until I adopted this method. Give it a try. Enjoy!
Help New pops on vinyl.
I don't get it. I haven't changed a thing in the last month, since I added a new preamp. The alignment hasn't changed, grounding scheme, nada. Today I'm playing LP's and all of a sudden, every single LP has loud pops every couple of minutes. What happened? There haven't been any issues with this set up at all, now it's all rice krispies.
What could have happened? I don't think it can be static, as I have all grounds in place, and the furnace has been running for months here in the SE PA. I also use a Talisman from Walker Audio.
I'm at a loss, but after 4 different popping LP's, which didn't pop before, I'm now playing CD's. Help please, what could it be?
