In Reply to: Newbie question about crackle and pop noise... posted by siddy on August 3, 2005 at 13:12:50:
Other posters may have some more specific advice re set-up, cleaning, etc., but I'll just mention the general principle that you need to allow for a break-in period, especially for the cartridge.Most cartridges require a break-in period of at least 20-40 hours of play before they will sound their best. In simple terms, the cartridge and stylus assembly has tiny moving parts that must flex a little before they have their full, intended range of motion. If your cartridge is brand new, this is probably contributing to the "flat and noiseless" sound you describe (and possibly to the noise issue).
Your phono stage will also require some burn-in time before it sounds its best.
Assuming your set-up is O.K., you may find that the sound really blooms on its own after some break=in time.
