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?

Once the real (for some) issue of static has been successfully addressed, all we are left with here is another cleaning fetishists fest.

@dmk_calgary  Better get all that gunk at the bottom of your US cleaner analysed to check it's not vinyl.

I probably have 20 albums unopened and purchased over the last few months.  When entering my listening room, I prefer to listen to music and I always ultrasonic clean a new record.  So, new records get cleaned in batches when I’m not listening to music.

I said dirt not static electricity. Static is not inserted at the factory. The culprit is us .
