Getting a lot of pops & crackles


I’m using  Linn Sondek turntable with an AKG cartridge and, of late, I’ve noticed a lot of pops and crackles on records which previously sounded pretty clean. Could this be due to the cartridge getting old?
Thanks

Simply try another cartridge, you can invite someone with different cartridge if you don't have another cart at home ? Pretty easy

You can also play some new record or anything in MINT- condition to check

You'd better use this brush before you play any record.
Zerostat is also nice
