Thank you guys...
the cart is an ortofon super om30. I just got an nos adc xlm ii so I can see if that makes a difference but it seems like it's the arm. For instance if I lift the arm and gently slide a finger down the tube with my other hand I can hear the sound of the finger running come from the speakers. Is this the kind of microphonics that damping mitigates?
the motor doesn't really make noise. Your ear has to literally be an inch from the pulley w no platters on to hear it. I figured that was par for the course, is that wrong?
