Originally posted by DJ RANN Hang on, dust has nothing to do with the age of your needle, or it's state of repair. Your records or room are too dusty. You say you clean your records regularly? Do you use a cleaning spray as well as a cloth? If not you could just be moving the dust around. (switch cleaner fluid works well if you can't get the real thing). It could also be your room (no offense) with too much dust in it and the static that builds on the vinyl as it's played could be attracting just too much. Try cleaning your records with fluid and an anti-static cloth (I find the brushes less effective than the cloths).

While you are right for most part here, old/worn needles DO attract more dust than new needles.

Jarv has hit the nail on the head here.
