barber Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I've got a Dual 1237 and I just put a new AT95e cartridge on it. Ever since, I've got this scratchy sound. Any idea what could be causing it? You can really hear it well around :20. It's definitely not the speakers (I've swapped those out and it's consistent). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethumb Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) It sounds like distortion due to a misaligned cartridge to me - perhaps try getting out the protractor and aligning it once more (be sure to get it as exact as possible). If you don't have experience doing this you may want to ask for some help at a local shop; misaligned cartridges can do serious damage to records and the cartridge itself. If that doesn't do the trick you can check to make sure the tonearm wiring is securely attached to the cartridge.
