Hello all! I'm looking for some advice/help from my fellow KLF enthusiasts.
I have : a Sony PS-FL7II linear tracking turntable purchased in 1989 and used approx. 80 hours with a needle/cartridge that reportedly cost as much as the deck (I'm guessing $100), a DiscWasher record cleaning system circa 1989, a Zerostat3, and a ARTCessories DJ v.2 USB preamp feeding into a MacBook Pro. I'm trying to rip several records including a seemingly pristine copy of The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu 1987 WTF is Going On? Overall, the record sounds very good with no pops or clicks. However, there is a persistent static sound that is noticeable not so much through my external computer speakers but significantly through my decent home and auto stereo. I've tried every different cleaning and anti-static tactic to eliminate this static for digital transfer purposes. The software I'm using to master my recordings is Audacity. I don't have the cash to buy a better deck/cleaning machine/software. Is there any way I can clean-up this static with what I have?
Thanks in advance for your sage advice,
Dan Hutchins
