I have the same cartridge as you. I am using the phono stage in my VAC preamp and rarely experience any ticks or pops. I just use a disc washer brush prior to every play. Records that are 30+ years old still play quietly.
Is it possible to have a quiet vinyl records
Hi, I am new to vinyl. I own VPI prime and ortofon quintet black cartridge. For the record cleaning I use record doctor V, brushes and proper sleeves. As much as I am impressed with the sound quality, I am also very disappointed that many records sound bad with very laud background noise. I read some reviews which point out that some turn tables with some cartridges are super quiet, but does it only happen with the best pressed records and most others will still make lots of pops and background noise. It there a a good method to truly enjoy quiet vinyl music or its something I have to get used to. Thank you.

In addition to cleaning your vinyl with the best hardware, there is an electronic device that makes your vinyl as quiet as a CD, but it will cost you. The price on the component varies between $1600.00 and $2000.00 depending who you buy from. The component is called the Sugar Cube SC-1 from the Sweet Vinyl company. Check it out.
