Hello all
I have a Project record deck, and recently replaced my Ortofon stylus,
and now I'm picking up noise/feedback type distortion when playing
LP's.
It seems to be picking up vibrations from the next groove ,as when I'm
standing over the record deck I can clearly hear whats soon to come
out of the speakers................
For some reason it always appears worse from the middle of the LP to
the end, and any scratches etc really sound magnified (when standing
directly over the record.
Could this be a problem with the arm weight? (I have tried moving the
little weight onto all 3 available grooves but it makes no difference)
Could the new stylus be the problem.
The most distortion comes from older (1960's) LP's could that be the
cause?
By the way I always clean my records with washing liquid and cold
water when i get them, but this has never been a problem
before...............
Any help much appreciated
Thank you
Alan

If all was OK before you replaced the stylus then the problem is probably
the stylus or the way you fitted it.

1. Is the new stylus a microgroove stylus? Is it EXACTLY the same type as
the old one?
2. Is the tracking force correct?
3. Is the anti-skating set up correctly?
4. Is the turntable absolutely horizontal?
