  1. Thanks for all the help. I actually noticed that my grounding wire had fallen loose. Whoops. So the problem is much better now, especially before the needle hits. But, when the needle hits the record, there is still a slight humming, but not bad at all. I'm pretty sure I just need to look into replacing my receiver. Had it for a long time, needs to happen.

  2. No, the turntable is not on top of the receiver. I don't hear it when I'm not using headphones. Also, I just barely touched the tonearm while it was in the rest and the humming got louder.

     

    It's not super noticeable when the music plays, or really at all, but I'm assuming I would probably tell a difference if it wasn't there at all.  

  3. Since I got a new turnable I've realized how little I know about them. When listening to my records through my headphones, I've notice a slight humming as soon as I turn on my receiver, before the needle is on the record. Is this a grounding problem possibly, or do I just need to upgrade my receiver? I have a pro-ject debut carbon and I'm pretty sure the grounding wire is connected properly. 

  4. I know it's probably not the primary concern when listening to records, but how do they sound?

    They sound fine. I have noticed this new TT can bring out pops and crackles, but if the record is clean, no problems.

    Its probably more likely scuffs from the paper inner sleeves when you are taking the records out and putting them back in the sleeves.

     

    You can puff out the paper sleeves to stop them dragging on the records and it's probably caused by static so if you can't get rid of the static then get better inner sleeves like the poly lined ones.

    Yeah I've been planning on replacing my paper sleeves with poly lined.

  5. Maybe not so much the balance, but the not so precise counterweight setting. I have a fairly nice table, and their directions on setting the counterweight put it at 1.7g when it was supposed to be 2.2g.

    Yeah the directions for mine said 17.5, but it wasn't enough and skipped around a bit. Ortofon site says 15-20, so I figured 18.5 would be good.

  6. I have a new Pro-Ject debut carbon with an Ortofon 2m red. For some reason I've been noticing what look like light surface scratches on some of my records. Not all over but just like one or two small chunks of space. For example-from the outside where the needle drops to about an inch or so into the record(or various other areas). I really don't see how this TT would be harming my records and my old cheap Audio Technica not harming them. I have taken a lot if time and balanced and re-balanced the tone arm. The counter weight is around 18.5, I think the range is 15-20. Is this normal wear I've just never noticed? Let me know what's up.

  7. You think paypal would have let me go this long without paying you? You were not the only one who I slacked on sending records to, my feedback shows it.  Every one of you got your money back and I'm not posting "proof" all over the boards. I'm done with this squabble now. Record is sold anyway.
