Replying to the post that started all of this shouting:
Check the arm bearings. If they are loose, the arm will chatter. Not
everyone is sensitive to the result of the "chatter", but it annoys me.
The arm might also have a gross resonance. It's relatively easy to find
out by whacking the arm with a pencil and listen to the reply. If the
arm tends to "ring", there will be audible problems.
Make sure that nothing is loose on the headshell and arm.
In spite of your care, check again to be sure that you are using the
RIAA equalization.
