Record Surface Noise Question

Thanks for the suggestion. Left while I'm looking at it from the front?

Your Moerch UP4, (being a unipivot) lets you change/adjust the azimuth with the counterweight(s). Try very slightly moving/swinging the dropped counterweight to the left.

I've owned both the Moerch UP4 and DP6 and they are a little harder to get setup just right.

Have you checked azimuth? Go to a camera repair store and get a mirror that is silvered on the front of it (old, used camera mirrors are this way - most mirrors are silvered on the back side which won't give you as accurate an image)....place it on your turntable and check that the reflection of your cartridge is parallel to the actual cartridge with the cartridge resting on the mirror. If it looks like its leaning to one side or the other, straighten it out by shimming the proper side.
