Just breaking in my Project Debut 3 turntable. Nice sound but there is
a lot of turntable noise. Its been a while since I've used a turntable
in anger but I don't remember this much noise on my old Dual 505.

I've uploaded a small mp3 clip (about 10secs) here

The background noise is only present when the stylus hits the vinyl - so
I guess its not a ground issue? Does it sound excessive?

Cheers,
Lordy
