(Not car related!) Is anyone here into record players?
« on: October 26, 2011, 05:10:03 AM »
Hey guys,

Sorry for posting a non Fiat related topic,  :-X but I thought since a lot of people on this forum are do-it-your-selfers maybe someone could give me advice for my record player?

Basically I don't know what weight to use with the pickup.

I think my stylus is of the diamond / magnet type, and it's a new stylus. It's not one of those cheapo ones, at least!

I know that I've been getting a scratchy, fuzzy sound on higher frequencies when the arm says it's around 2 grams, but the readout may not be stating the actual weight... need one of those external measuring devices.

When I increase the weight to what I think is around 3-3.5 grams, I get a much better sound, but I don't know if this is too much on the stylus / record.

Does anyone here know more about it?

Thanks!

Alleyniki.
