Some record labels or pressings just used inferior or recycled vinyl. The Noise cannot be removed. However, if dirty, then the record dr is a great economical machine. I use mine with audio intelligent #6 cleaner. There will also be a bit more noise when tubes are introduced, such as in the phono stage. All depends on how well it was designed. Typically a solid state preamp is quieter.
Crackle and hiss on some albums
New to world of vinyl.
Had a low end Orbit turntable, played everything OK.
Upgraded to a Planar 3 with Rega Exact 2 cartridge. Absolutely love it. Noticed that some albums - even when brand new - exhibit some crackle, pop, and hiss. Some albums are dead silent and perfect. Have checked for dust and that doesn’t seem to be issue. Is there a quality factor with some pressings I am missing? Or something in setup that needs looking at?
Thank you for thoughts!
