thanks for considering me but when you've got something to post it simply has to come out ..... either here or in a case of road rage!I agree. Funnilly enough, I thought of things you've said on other posts as I typed that and I was in two minds whether to submit it. But I thought it might make an interesting debate point. I have had noisy records but most of them haven't been.
Bad cartridges do a lot of that.I have had noisy records but most of them haven't been.
that's funny ......... ........ you're the first guy I've run into that also saw that happening to his record.HA! I remember that happening on my first stereo system when I was a kid, One of those soundesign set up's that had a turntable, reciever, 2 cassette decks and an 8 track player. I was playing a brand new album and the light hit the vinyl at the right angle and I noticed that as the record played, the part the needle passed through was dull and the unplayed area was shiny, being 12 years old at the time I realized even then that the needle was instantly carving the grooves out, so I got a nickel and taped it to the back of the stylus arm, it lifted the stylus up just enough to where the needle wouldn't jump and the album still sounded OK, Shortly after that though I started looking for a more hi end turntable and ended up saving enough money(After a couple of years lol...) to buy a pioneer with a strobe speed adjustment and detachable cartridge with weights.
cool ........ I guess my collection is close to 10,000 if I include 45's and 78's. I don't really collect those though .... I just have a bunch of them.Glad to see another member with a shit ton of vinyl, Bob. My LP, 78, 45 is close to 10,000. I just started getting into R2R and I find that media to be fantastic. Especially 7 1/2 IPS tapes. My R2R collection is up to 300+ tapes. I own 3 Akia R2R decks and Im always looking for more. My wife says I have a problem. Not as bad as her "Purse" collecting
