Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops


Does this mean that the problem is the stylus/ Needle?

Please Help!

As I mentioned I've tried several new vinyl records and I encounter the same problem. Pops and Flubbing noise. Static as well.

What are the odds? Either all your new LPs are flawed or you have a local problem with your system.  I'd go with the latter. Figure it out.
