Turntables

I remember a thread here a few months ago regarding the same phenomenon.  I don't recall the exact thread or details but if memory serves the consensus was pressing error or defects.  If not maybe someone who rembers or knows can chime in...

Pre-echo or print through. Not uncommon with records and not a defect that would cause me to reject a record. 34% RH is too dry in my estimation. Don't know where you live @luvrockin  but winter with central heating can do that. Can you increase the RH on your HVAC system? I adjust mine higher in the winter (in Texas now, where it isn't as cold as it was in the NE, but still makes a difference). 
Vinyl is a wonderful PITA. You get better at it. Record cleaning and care is part of it, for better or worse. Static is the devil, enhanced by dry conditions. I've gotten most of that sorted by effective cleaning, decent aftermarket inner sleeves and, for the most part, staying away from dry brushing in favor of an 'air puffer' to dust off surface lint from an otherwise clean record. I also learned to play and handle records in my bare feet- socks or shoes on carpet will charge you, and hence, the record. 
Sounds like @gshepardbuster is the kind of seller who goes beyond the call of duty. You are lucky! 
enjoy-
FWIW, the real cost in vinyl-land eventually becomes the records, sorting through different pressings, facing the challenges of the used record market to find the jewels and not being put off by the long list of things that can make you crazy. When it's right, it's pretty much as good as it gets, leaving aside my maniac friends who feed the tape beast. 

@whart thatbis what I thought about the pressing. gsheppardbuster who has gone well beyond the call of duty had also commented similar on possible pressing issues. That is not really a deal breaker on the LP. Just didn’t know if I had a tracking issue or something along those lines.

I live in the Midwest. I have (2) whole house humidifiers. I really don’t know how to get anymore humidity based on outside conditions. If I crank up the humidity much more, then I get a lake on all my windows frames from the glass pouring h20. I may try adding a portable humidifier just in that room. My thought is water seeks its own level. As the furnace fires up and I pull air from my listening rooms return air, that RH will probably drop and in theory gonup in the house? Anyway, I’ll keep poking with it and give it a shot. 

In regards to the faint signal you hear just prior to the music starting is indeed, print thru. Peter Lederman of Soundsmith told me that the louder this sound is, the better the azimuth alignment of the cartridge is. It can be used as sort of a tool for cartridge azimuth alignment.

I have a like new 2040 PE (Perpetuum Ebner) turntable that was considered to be top notch when we purchased years ago.  It has hardly ever used and stored in our residence closet for many years.  We purchased a second needle Shure M-91E-P20, at the time, which I remember was approx. $100 in the day for the needle cartridge alone .  That needle has never been on the platter. My husband has since passed away and I am looking to downsize all of his audio/stereo equipment including a Dokorder Reel-to-Reel which I think was a good unit.  Is this a place to be able to do so or can I be directed to a site to help in selling these types of products.  Thanks for feedback!
