End of Record Distortion

All the angles and forces make for an interesting discussion, but maybe your stylus is just picking up dust. Well, actually it's not a question of whether there is dust, but rather how much.

Surely you clean off the stylus before you begin to play each LP. This implies that you recognize the existance of dust.

some records? Any of them "simply Vinyl" 180 gram....?
I have two "Dire Straits" lps, "Brothers in Arms", and "Love over Gold". Both lps are dead quiet until the very end of the last song, side two, of both lps. As the music fades out there is a distorted static sound just before the lead out on the records.

Jea48,
Is that static sound worse in the left channel? If so, and assuming that cleaning does not help, I'd suspect a pressing flaw. That sound can be caused by the vinyl not flowing fully down into the L channel groove modulations, typically because the temp was too low when they started pressing that copy. It tends to happen on the L channel because that is the inner groove wall. The molten vinyl is pressed from the center outward. If it's not hot enough to flow smoothly it can skip over part of the downward slope as it moves past the groove and leave a gap.
