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?

Seems it’s either a vinyl problem or a static electricity problem. 
New vinyl is not clean, it benefits from a good cleaning- ultrasonic works best.  Static electricity can also cause pops n clicks - best to try to eliminate. While many products try to lower static prior to playing, the CS Port and DSAudio  seem best as they eliminate static “as the record is being played”

Do your pops and clicks occur at the same song locations? If so, it’s likely not static which would be random.  

 

I've used the Zerostat before and nothing. A friend has the Furutech and says it's OK but after the 1st or 2nd song of an LP he hears those small clicking sounds he says are static discharges. 

I've seen those other 2 products from overseas stores selling for just under 2k
