Its not always the tape though. You can on one particular LP my mother had
by Frank Sinatra, hear the tape hiss come in just before the start of the
sound, but one turn prior to that, you can hear the sound as well. Its far
too much of a coincidence it would be one turn as well.
I cannot play these games any more unfortunately.
I have to use a Technics sl5 with an Ortofon Cart these days. Its showing
signs of the dreaded sticky lubricant as well. Needs its arm serviced.

Can't fix it with a couple spritzes of contact cleaner judiciously applied?

Personally, I like Vista, but I probably won't use it. I like it
because it generates considerable business for me in consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".
