Cmo, one additional thought about some of the noise, and this may not be "politically correct" to comment on: my experience has been that turntable systems ('table, arm and cartridge) are very different with respect to the amount of background noise one hears. Some are flat out just better at that deep quiet background than others. Albert's Walker turntable is one of the best there is in this regard, if not the best. All others will have some higher level of residual background noise. For example, with the same care in cleaning, the VPI-19 I used and loved for so many years could never approach the background silence achieved by a SME or the Walker.
And, as Albert suggests in his second post, what you describe also sounds to me exactly like what I hear when a cleaned record has not been thoroughly rinsed.
And Plato: give it a rest.
