LP Sound Quality


Awhile back I purchased a used LP12 turntable with an Ekos tonearm, Arkiv cartridge with the Lingo power supply & Linto phono pre-amp. Running this thru a couple Klout amps to B&W Nautilus 802 speakers. Playing a CD or Tape the sound is great. Playing an album the sound is not very good. It almost sounds like the singer needs to clear their throat, it's kind of garbled, I guess is the word to use.
All I have is a couple brushes to clean the LP's (Discwasher & Bib).
Curious to what everyone uses to clean their albums & cartridge & also where to purchase? New to this analog stuff.

Thanks !!

Giglr : I suggest Michael Fremer's DVD on Turntable Set-Up to give you visuals on the art of set-up($30). I suspect the VTA (vertical tracking angle) is off or some other set-up issue needs to be corrected. As an alternative , should you have an audio bud that has a cartridge to spair, borrow one replace yours to see if the problem goes away.
