Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops

@lewm   The op is asking for assistance.  You are offering nothing. Are you having a bad day?

Who setup your turntable?  Tracking force, VTA.......anti skate, cartridge alignment, tone arm balance. Did you clean the LP before playing?????? 

Some people should just stream and listen to CD's. 

My brother set it up.  I upgraded from the red ortofon to the blue.

Yes I cleaned some of the lps.

Thanks for helping.

What about you, Abner?
