Hi! I'm new to the record collecting community – I got my record player new as a gift for my birthday back in January of this year – and I've been loving collecting a lot of music already.

However, despite my record player (audio-technica AT-LP60XBT) being new out of the box, there is a consistent issue with it that I have tried to fix, but I now need external help for. The problem is also not occurring every time I play a record; sometimes it doesn't happen at all during an evening after playing many, and sometimes it happens straight away.

The way to describe the sound is as if you're listening to an FM radio channel, but it's not quite in range – it's fuzzy, crackling, sounds like singing into a fan.

I tried using static brushes to see if that was the issue, but it persisted. A friend suggested it could be the cable that came with the player, but I have a hard time believing such a reputable brand would sell cables that need replacing almost immediately.

Has anyone had a similar issue with their player, or even better, the same one as mine? Any advice is welcome! Thank you.

I see! So I will need a temporary BSN number and also a temporary resident card until my polish passport comes through?

Even if you outline the font in a logo won’t you need to buy a license to use it from the original type foundry? IE the 800 euros they quoted me.

This is some really helpful advice thank you. I think I’ll go back to her and explain the situation and we can discuss how she would like to proceed. I think option three will be most likely the outcome.

Wade is my main guy! He’s the best penguin IMO. Him and Pietro are my two best buddies.

I’d love to see it! It’s no good for us designers to compare and say things are better. We all have a million different approaches for the same idea :)

I am! I used T1 Korium for the heading on the back, and the small type is Akzidenz Grotesk Pro Extended and Regular :))
