I can't find any references to this turntable with google searching. What am

Pardon...it's a DP-7F, *not* 7J.

It can be inherent in the media under some conditions, but it is also
indictative of excess friction in the arm, misadjusted anti-skating, and
too-low tracking force.

My old cartridge had a problem with raised noise levels in the right
channel...thing is, I didn't use the cartridge for long, so I don't
think I could've damaged any vinyl in the interim.


I wouldn't be too self-conscious about trying various adjustments to your
tone arm. That's one reason why vinyl was scrapped by 99+% of everybody - it
was a steady maintenance headache. Adjustments like these can get put out of
shape by shipping, for example.

Heh. Somewhat ironically, I'm spazzing about all of this to get stuff
*off* of vinyl...transferring lots of my old mono albums to CD, et
cetera. All of these problems are really putting a damper on the
process.


I looked at the waveform of the sibilant high frequency content. The
waveform signal is clipped on the bottom for the left channel and at
the top for the right channel. The right channel (inner groove) appear
most clipped. It can mean many things but try adjusting tracking
force and then antiskate as a first cure.

The Denon DP-7F appears to be a directdrive with an automatic arm. I
made a search of this TT at the vinyl forum at audioasylum and I did
not get a clearcut answer of how to set the tracking force. From a
picture of the table I saw on the net,

I could not really see how to set the tracking force. One mail noted
that there were three different weights supplied with the TT, not
mounted. Perhaps it is better to seek advice at the audioasylum of how
to set the tracking force of your specific TT.
