ok lots of questions to answer here so bare with me.
YES all the records in question are from family who YES never took care of them.
My collection on the other hand have always been cared for and have no problems.
I set myself out on a task to get some of these records back to be at least some what listenable. Reason being i found some gems, now i am dumb when it comes to cleaning records because honestly i store my records properly and really just brush them with the HUNT cleaning brush and at one point used permastat anti static preservation which i believe could be why MY collection is very quiet and enjoyable to listen too. Now anything new i buy i just use the HUNT brush and then a little gruv glide for static because it kinds does everything all around. I couldn't find permastat so i went to gruv glide but i found permastat again so when i run out of gruv glide i will return to permastat.
I do not have a record cleaning machine so what is the alternative to getting all that crap out of the grooves?
And guys thanks so much for your help, oh and what kept me thinking it was static was taking the terms snap crackle and pop literally.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
and my rig is as follows
Primare I21 CD 21
Thiel 1.6
Music Hall MMF5
Music Hall pa1.2
Kimber Kable Interconnects
Monster Mseries 2.2 (will upgrade soon, Harvey closed there store on LI and I pick them up (20 ft pair) for 163 bucks.
Fablous sound so its really annoying to listen to dirty records on a nice modest system.
HELP!!!!
