That would be the profile of the stylus you are using. Modern fine line styluses track more quietly. The two stylus types that I have noted to be the quietest are the Microridge styluses and the Replicant 100/Gyger S styluses. They all have a very narrow long contact area.
A fine realization
I have made some upgrades (changes, anyway), to my analog front end. I've added a Herron Phono Stage, a new cartridge I dearly love, and just completed putting a new SPH pivot bearing. Listening tonight, I don't remember ever hearing LP's sound this good.
I must admit, though, I don't get out much, not even when I was younger (last audio show 2007 RMAF) .
But honestly, I've never heard as little surface noise, which makes the music tend to leap off the LP in a bit more exciting way.
Makes an old man smile.
