    Static problems with all my turntables

    Hello! I have an extremely irritating problem when playing my records. After just 1 play the record gets very statically charged. I live in Sweden and it's been raining here constantly for the last few weeks so I doubt it's a humidity problem. I've tried different mats and the only one that...

    Crackling/Static in Right Channel Only - KR-6160

    There's a crackle static sound coming out of the right channel on a KR-6160. It's not dependent on volume level; whether volume is zero or maxed out the static remains the same level. All inputs have this sound, changing mode to right, left, rev - all of them the static remains in the right...

    Ghost in the machine (Pioneer SX-790)

    I picked up a very handsome Pioneer SX-790 (the dark-dial equivalent of the SX-780) and had to replace bulbs and clean it up a bit. (As you can see, I'm experimenting with some ice blue LEDs.). Odd thing is: the meters sometimes dance even when there's no input attached (PHONO or AUX -- not even...

    Removing static from records

    After cleaning records I get lots of static. I've been using the Robert Crumb method of washing records with clean water on a damp cotton rag and drying with soft rag. Although Crumb uses lots of soap on his records as well as water. (as shown in a vintage video of him.) Once cleaned I touch...
