Thanks everyone for your help :) I think the plan for now will be to see if he can arrange a demo of the sevens or maybe the LS50s in the room. I have also strongly recommended a good stand to try and help with the acoustics. I am sure he'll add a streamer at some point, and maybe look at a...

The source will be vinyl, although he hasn't spent much time looking at a turntable yet. Do you think good stands would help with the room acoustics given the glass and floor? It's hard to say his budget as I'm speaking for him here. The speakers seem to be £1,000-1,500. I would suggest that...

The sevens are powered but I believe the LS50 does need an amp. I did recommend floostanders as I am a big fan of mine but I believe he is only interested in bookshelf speakers, though I will double check with him. Aha yeah, the floor is actually a stone tile which might not help the situation...

Hi, My dad is looking at investing in his first HiFi setup. He is after a pair of bookshelf speakers for a 4 x 10 m room. It is also might be worth noting three of the walls will be glass. He likes the look of the Klipsch Series Seven, I also recommended the KEF LS50 Meta from when I was...

glad its not too big of a problem, probably just being over paranoid/protective as it's the first record I've had that's done it. Shame its so common apparently, but as its not too bad and sound is fine I can live with it, thanks to everyone who responded.

Yeah, a lot of what I saw on the internet just said modern vinyl is worse quality and is often warped so that's what I was assuming it was, but its still quite annoying.

Hi, Maybe this is normal, maybe it isn't but I want to check. I'm pretty new to vinyl, I don't even have 10 records yet. Today a record arrived and naturally I've ran to stick it on my turntable but as I did I noticed it seemed to move up and down as it rotated. The platter seemed perfectly...

Say brush is arriving tomorrow so will see how well that cleans it. I might end up getting a standard stylus brush for a tenner and then maybe try out the gel later as well as many people have mentioned it to be good. I'm not too sure what to look for when looking at the stylus, when I was...

Ok, well I've ordered the brush now so will dust off the record and see if there's an improvement, I think it should make a big difference. Cleaning the stylus seems like a good idea too though. Will any old stylus brush do? Another product I've been recommended a lot is...

The Hunt EDA name has been mentioned a fair bit but cant see any new ones for sale, and are at a higher price. In that case I'm going to order this one, it should arrive by Sunday and then I'll see if it helps, if not I'll be right back...

Yep its silent when the turntables not playing so that's a good sign. I'm trying to upload a photo of my stylus just to check but it won't let me, I get a message saying the uploaded file doesn't have an allowed extension, what? I don't know why this is I can upload photos on other sites...

Ok, I plan on ordering some basic cleaning stuff tonight then, an antistatic brush and microfibre cloth. Hopefully this will be enough to reduce the noise and then at least I know that the only problem is dirt and not in my setup. Then, later down the line when my bank accounts recovered from...

The turntable was already set up as it was bought second hand, I did look over it and it all seemed to be set up as it should according to the manual. The mat is an interesting idea, its felt so probably would produce some static. The platter underneath is acrylic so do you mean just to run it...

Its the standard one the comes with the RP3, Cartridge is Elys 2 Yeah I know but I am always assume the worst and think I've done something wrong with the system. Is it likely just dirt or something else? Either way I could use some recommendations on inexpensive good cleaning kits.

The more I read into this and closely listen to the tracks I'm noticing some background noise, it seems like the most common cause for this is dirt? The record is new so I don't know why it would be but is that likely the case? If so can someone recommend a good cheap cleaning kit? Or is it more...
