hello, sorry for the quality of this video and for my english (i play with my turntable instead of learn my lessons) <br /> <br />you must know that this is not a panacea, sometime it works, sometime no... <br />Most of the time if you do not have a successful outcome, stop ... <br /> <br />with this method you do some surface marks on vinyl but they are generally not audible but however, you can affect the sound a little ... read on to learn more <br /> <br />you need a toothpick (cut peak, very sharp), a lot of determination and some luck... <br /> <br />rq: don't use metal (like a needle), that deteriorates more the sound than the toothpick <br /> <br />1) find the "pop" from the scratch, as in this video. you can listen a pop at 1 mm 18, and 1mm 22_1 mm23... <br /> <br />2) then place the stylus behind the pop and make with the toothpick, some back and forth, trying to follow the path (way) of microgroove (microsillon) as a stylus...(like in vidéo ...you can slightly bend the toothpick left and right, very carefully) <br /> <br />You should feel a resistance, right on the pop (on the pop) ... the order is to reduce this resistance... <br />if you feel nothing maybe is not the good microgroove... <br /> <br />be careful don't touch the stylus with toothpick, you can make another scratch ;-) <br /> <br />3)and listen to the sound to see if the pop has disappeared (like in video)... <br /> <br />in this case, the pop disappeared without affect the sound of the vinyl ...(believe me) at 2 mm 34 2 mm 38... <br /> <br />but this is not always the case ... <br /> <br />sometime, the sound of the pop has only diminished. and not disappeared completely ... <br /> <br />sometime you can hear a slight "breath" instead of the pop ((or with a diminished pop))... <br /> <br />here, you must choose whether you prefer the sound of pop or a slight "breath" <br />I can not make the decision in your place <br /> <br />if the toothpick destroyed totaly the sound of vinyl. you must stop, <br />it can not be repaired <br />Most of the time if you do not have a successful outcome, stop ... <br /> <br />sometime the "pop noise" does not disappear completely and still be heard on one side of the stereo. <br /> <br />so I hope help you Vinyl addict, maybe try with a old vinyl with a lot of scratch to practice <br />DJ Gaogao (The Vinyl Guérilla, Radio Campus Besançon Lunarmouth)
