Welcome to the world of vinyl. If a record is real bad return it. However if one record is noisy all other records in that batch will; be noisy. You will notice that some brands are much better than others. If you do not take pristine care of your records they will all become noisy.
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!
