I tried from 1.8 to 2.2g. It didn't change anything on the particular album that had the distortion. Interestingly most other albums are fine. No distortion at all. So I'm beginning to think it my just be the album. I'm going to tri it on the pion... 
Crackling distortion

Oldears - I don't have any hifi dealers where I leave. So I cant go to them unfortunately. And if I cant find "directions" on how do it, I cant even go to a local electroic repair store.
