Static noise can be heard through the speakers when lifting the tonearm of my turntable. Solution? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't lift the tonearm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

That volumetric fog reminds me of the Unreal Engine. I've heard you need to clean the tonearm connections but I am without a manual for my 1200s and not willing to risk busting it. I once broke a psx while attempting to install a mod chip so naturally I'm hesitant to proceed without advice. |

|
|
are you using a pre-amp? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1200 -> Rane TTM 56 Mixer -> Active Monitors |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so thats yes or no? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Active Monitors have the amp built in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not that then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But its yes to your question since I'm running it through a mixer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No its definately not. The static appears regardless of the sound system thats used. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could be the mixer then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok its not the mixer then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've used two different mixers with my turntables. Same. I know its a problem with the turntable itself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
any other electrical equipment near the speakers? |
||||||||

This conversation occurs in a strange sequence. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this conversations a bit odd isn't it? |
||||||||

oops satellite delay there. after you say something, say OVER, then i know when you've finished :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
If I put the turntable on a rubber pedestal in the middle of the room free from any electrical interference the static will still appear. I'm sure it has to be one of the connections between the components; possibly the headshell and tonearm. |

Negative! It is possible to aquire a Caig Deox-It pen at turntablelab. Checking price.... $13.50 USD Mmmmm.... Although the tutorial in your link said to use the Caig Deox-It pen, I cant help but notice that he is using a cue tip in the picture... |

err, what's going on there? OVER |

It is an attempt at humor made by positioning the tip of a tornarm over rapper Q-Tip's head from his album, "Amplified". This stems from the observation that the photo from the tutorial features a tonearm being cleaned by a cue tip. |

Sean Booth on De La Soul: "I got really annoyed when De La Soul came along in 1989," groans Booth, "and everyone said how brilliant it was. But I just thought, how lame is that? You sample some white music and suddenly you're cool? It's the only way a black guy can get any sort of success these days. They were loved by the indie press when they came out but I thought 3 Feet High And Rising was a low point. It was really up itself. Plus my mate Ged met them in Manchester and they were cunts to him." Taken from here . On a side note, the above interview appears as the first result when searching google for "autechre interview, de la soul, cunts" |
