I have dedicated lines, but why is this happening?
TWL's answer makes the most sense. I sometimes get a pop from the microwave. It's RF and it somehow gets in my system. Maybe shielding the RF source will work. 
Review of Michael Wolff Carbon Ribbon Source power
Very good review; impartial and informative. You understand what you are doing. That West Side Story musical I can't stand. It's extremely improper and full of bigotry.

High end is who you are, not what you buy. 
TT interconnects and power cords
Why are you worried about power cord & ICs? You just purchased a TT with a utility-regulated AC synchronous motor! Remember, half the music is in the record, the time domain half is provided by the TT... 
Review: Ridge Street Audio Midnight Silver Edition GEN. II Interconnect
Now that I've used the Gen II's I can say that they're everything that's been previously said. Although more extension, musicality and added information is there, what I like most is the better defined outlines of the instruments and the blackness... 
Cartridge cleaning
I use demineralized water. 
Review: Ridge Street Audio Midnight Silver Edition GEN. II Interconnect

Is this the best analog has to offer?

Any feedback on the new Wolff PC ?
Wow! So much crazyness and not a single coherent explanation! Amazing...Perhaps I could get a copy of the patent pending thing. If it's $4500 there must be some substance to the design. 
Review: Ridge Street Audio Midnight Silver Edition GEN. II Interconnect
Why don't Sonic Genius send you the Pure Note and Lak & I get a chance to hear them? You get my drift, don't you? Two sets. That's it--two sets. 
Tonearm upgrade help...mmf 2.1 info

I use non resonant, Caribbean Moca wood and Goldmund cones under my 23 lb Parasound belt driven transport. Soundstage and clarity improved when the Moca wood board was added. Moca is simply awesonme...
