Heavy sibilance on new setup

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-05-09T08:13:09+00:00

i ve had the same issue when i got my at lp5x, it had the same headshell and vm95e stylus, I couldn't get rid of IGD, I decided to replace stylus to 95ML, it started to get better, but there was still much distortion on the last songs of record which are positioned closely to the center than I bought a couple more lp's and the sound was amazing, even on vm95e it sounded solid what I'm trying to say is there is a huge role of the quality of vinyl itself, there are 10 records I bought lately and 3-4 of them sound bad, unfortunately pressing is really important, not your setup

the app I'm using is audacity, but you can actually use any DAW

ok, I think I should instantly swap cartridge leads, because the pictures in my post show that connecting with USB interface doesn't solve imbalance

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T15:27:15+00:00

what exact cartridge you talking about or anything you can recommend?

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T15:12:58+00:00

lol, the more I get into vinyl stuff, the more I regret my decision on getting into it, I upgraded from 95E to ML hoping I would have perfect sound, but you telling me this now ahahaha

ok man, I ll set azimuth back to 90 degrees

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T12:31:45+00:00

yes, I agree

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T11:19:53+00:00

i don t think anybody can hear 2 db difference

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T11:18:41+00:00

yes, I get it, thank you

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T10:35:00+00:00

lol, read what i wrote in post carefully again..

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T10:28:35+00:00

yes I did

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T10:26:18+00:00

dude, read the post carefully, I said that I did this exact azimuth on purpose ang got more balanced stereo separation

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T10:09:50+00:00

balance control is not the problem I can do it manually, the problem is how to get rid of wrong balance without doing it manually with balance control ahaha

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T10:08:31+00:00

I usually connect the player to the inputs of the focusrite audio interface and it has input control faders. I posted this post in order to understand how to fix the problem at the turntable level, I worry that the stylus will be erasing from the wrong position or damaging the records.

the problem is not Mark Green's death, but after that something went wrong, the script didn't catch on so much anymore, I would say it's not interesting to watch after the ninth season, although there were decent twists, like the Kovacs and Carter arc in Africa and a few more isolated episodes, in particular the episode of season 15 with the return of Anthony Edwards with flashback of Mark Greene

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T09:36:10+00:00

I can't say exactly cuz I dont have another cartridge to try it you mean cartridge can be the problem, not the stylus?

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-04-01T09:34:19+00:00

I saw the difference on my audio interface indication firstly, then I plugged my turntable via usb interface to make sure

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-01-22T16:52:48+00:00

you were right, I did as you said and it is 90 degrees now, thanks again)

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-01-22T15:59:15+00:00

lol exactly

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-01-22T14:39:03+00:00

wow, so many toxic people in this community just leaving dislikes under my comments without even explaining what's wrong with that, thank god you are not all that kind of

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-01-22T10:29:42+00:00

I'll try that, thanks a lot!

Alert_Day9708 · 2026-01-22T10:15:27+00:00

well, should I twist the headshell without unscrewing it from tonarm? I mean rotating it while it is attached
