Inner groove "Rumble"


All of a sudden, I'm hearing a weird "rumbling" once the stylus reaches the last inch or so of a record. There has been no sudden "trauma" to my table or tonearm. The first 80 % of each LP side still sounds absolutely fine. Any thoughts as to what's happening here ?

Dear Lewm: Well, that already posted by other persons and I think he needs all the possible " reasons "/speculations.

Regards and enjoy the music,

Hey Guys........
No ..... I have not lost interest in this forum. Sometimes "life gets in the way" and Audiogon takes a back seat to other things. The bearing seems fine, and I think I've narrowed it down to a cartridge problem. I'm going to try to borrow a similar Rega cartridge and mount it to see if that improves the situation. Thanks for all your help and thoughtful advice ! I really appreciate all the interest you guys have shown, and it certainly is a pleasure being part of this fine Audiogon community ! I will keep you all posted as things progress. But, as summer approaches.... a lot more time with golf, bike riding, hiking with my dog, and all kinds of outdoors stuff ..... and a lot less time sitting in my basement music room !

Are you crazy??? LOL!
Adam, Your dog will probably like it more if you sit with him inside in an air conditioned room and listen to music, rather than taking him on a hike. Just take him out once a day for a romp and a poop. Dogs don't need the exercise
