The record has no issues, nor does the stylus. I didn't sense he was referring to noise, but to distortion - sounds like a crackling breaking up throughout the channel. Distortion in the LEFT channel indicates too much anti-skate force (if it was in the right, that would indicate too little).

Always follow the setup order - once the cart is aligned correctly, set anti-skate to zero and tracking force to zero. Then set the counterweight. next dial in the recommended tracking force and set the anti-skate. Dial back tracking force a bit after to an ideal spot.

There should now be no distortion in either channel.
