killerofjoy605 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 On the last two albums I've played when the songs were suppose to get louder the sound would become distorted and silenter then before. This only recently happened on two often played albums that I never had trouble with before. If you have any idea what happened or if one of my machines kicked the bucket please help. I currently have: Turntable- Stanton t.62 with the stylus it comes with Preamp- Onkyo TX-15 Speakers - YORX speaker system S-13 I know it's not that great since most of it is second hand anyway, but the best I could do with my current funds.

ajxd Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Check to see if your stylus is dirty? How loud were you playing your system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajxd Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Are you sure your tonearm is properly balanced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbler108 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 This happened to me once. The problem was that I bought a few used records and played them before I had the chance to clean them, and they made my stylus really dirty. Buy Last Stylus Cleaner, and hopefully it will fix the problem. If it doesn't fix it, at least you'll have a clean stylus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trott3r Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I expect it will be the stylus as well. After you clean it with alcohol (gin can work on the cheap) and it still distorts you will need to buy a new stylus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do not use alcohol on a stylus. circuit bored records 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerofjoy605 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Are you sure your tonearm is properly balanced? I re-balanced my tonearm and cleaned my stylus and everything seems to be working fine now, thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
