    TT: VPI prime scout
    Cartridge: Ortofon MC black
    Phono: Is quiet when nothing is playing.
    When the TT plays the background noise is significant.

    Invest in a quality vinyl cleaner and a ZeroDust for your stylus. Even something like a Spin Clean makes a big difference. Stepping up to a vacuum cleaner is a worthwhile upgrade though. Then store records in quality poly sleeves.

    I do have a record doctor cleaner that i use. but i still hear the surface noise. Is it possible that it is a electrical issue?

    @neo_the_one Potentially I guess, but a lot of the time it might just be that the record is a noisy pressing? I have found that gettin better/more transparent gear is a double edge sword when it comes to vinyl. I kind of lust for my Schiit Man/2M Blue days because issues were less noticeable. I think that is part of the reason the conical stylus of the Denon 103 is not seen as an issue, more forgiving.
