Hey all, I recently purchased a Dual 502 in great condition, I was told it has a Shure(sp?) cartridge, a baby blue one. I was wondering if someone knew anything about this cartridge or did they make different models with the same colours?
Also, my main issue is that I'm getting almost a croaking sound when I play records, the best way to describe it is that it's like a frog except it's one consistent drone, like Brian Eno Ambient Frog 1. You can hear it steadily going when certain albums are on, sometimes it's there sometimes it's not and I'm starting to wonder if it's only the 180 gram records contributing to it. Don't know if the thicker vinyl can affect the cartridge performance?
Obviously I don't know too much about any of this but any help would be much appreciated. I tried searching online about the croaking sound but couldn't find anything related. Thanks in advance and sorry about being a total newb about all of this.
Thanks!
