On my project 3 turntable, the sound quality deteriorates as the stylus gets nearer to the centre of the disc. Can anyone advise me on the likely cause?
thanks

That's interesting. I have the Debut 2, and the instructions tell me to use the third groove (instructions are pretty pants, to be honest). But I always though it should be the middle groove, based on the spec of the OM-5E cartridge.True Blue said:Agree with all above, also while your at it check your tracking and in particular your antiskate setting

Also you dont mention if its an original fit cartridge or a new one? Again please pay particualr attention to the above.
No, you're right Lambda. If it's only happening on a couple of records it's not IGD, it's that the records are knackered.lambda said:I noticed I get this on a couple of my records too, but it's always in the same place and always on the same records. I just assumed that because they were old records they'd surferred abuse in the past?
I concur. I've got one of these Knosti's and they are a really cheap and effective cleaning and anti-static solution. Compare how much dust a non-cleaned LP attracts against one that has been cleaned with a Knosti. A real "Night/Day" difference.DandyCobalt said:For cleaning (and removing static- my biggest problem).

Chris, I don't think you got an answer to this.lambda said:What symptoms would I get with too much anti-skating?
In addition to a cleaning, I'd also like to store my LPs properly, most come with rubbish cardboard sleeves. Can I get anti-static sleeves for the vinyl and plastic covers for the LP covers? Would this make a difference too?DIB said:I concur. I've got one of these Knosti's and they are a really cheap and effective cleaning and anti-static solution.

You can pick up anti static sleeves off Ebay quite easily, lots of choice out there. I've replaced quite a lot of my old non anti-static/cardboard inner sleeves with new fresh anti-static ones. I tend to replace them as and when I give the LP a good clean. Well worth the relatively small outlay.lambda said:In addition to a cleaning, I'd also like to store my LPs properly, most come with rubbish cardboard sleeves.

Yes, totally agree. Much easier to handle than the similarly priced Nagaoka, good though they are.mitch65 said:I swear by MFSL inner sleeves, you can get them for 20 quid for 50 delivered from juno.
