Published on 4 August 2024 at 17:30

There are several signs that your turntable may need to be serviced or repaired:

  • The sound quality has deteriorated, with more pops, crackles, and distortion than usual.
  • The turntable is skipping or jumping during playback, even on records that are in good condition.
  • The speed of the turntable is inconsistent or unstable, causing the pitch of the music to fluctuate.
  • The tonearm is not tracking properly, causing the stylus to skip or jump during playback.
  • The turntable is making unusual or excessive noise, such as humming or buzzing.

If you notice any of these issues with your turntable, it's a good idea to have it serviced or repaired by a professional. This may include cleaning and lubricating the moving parts, adjusting the tracking force and anti-skate, or replacing worn or damaged components. By keeping your turntable in good condition, you can ensure that it continues to provide high-quality sound and enjoyment for years to come.
