A good quality of reproduction depends, in a very important
way, on the perfection of the silences, therefore:
1) Frequently examine the tip of the needle. A powerful
magnifying glass, or better, a microscope of about 100 magnifications, can
detect harmful wear to the discs or dirt embedded in the needle.
2) Check the vertical support force and the horizontal
freedom of the arm.
3) Preserve the needle from the dust, heat and grease. A cartridge
in bad condition can destroy the treble of a disc in a single pass, and alter
the transparency and clarity of the middle tones.
4) The noise due to the dust of the discs is very annoying
and damaging to the disc and the tip of the needle, because that dust is
abrasive and bites and polishes the surfaces. Keep discs free of dust.
5) Do not use chamois that sometimes introduce dust into
the depths of the furrows.
6) Do not use anti-static fluids for discs, because underpin
the dust on the needle and reduce the introduction of the needle in the furrow
and causing it to jump over them, causing scratches and damage.
7) Use anti-static brushes, which at the same time clean the
surface dust of the discs; carbon fiber brushes give good results.
8) If a needle has lost qualities, replace it immediately
with an original replacement and ensure proper installation of the needle in
the cartridge. A good installation is verified by the absence of any noise by
the loudspeakers when the turntable is connected to an amplifier.
