Cartridge Setup?


Hello, I have a Music Hall MMF5.1 set up which I enjoyed very much... Two days ago, I upgraded the Goldring cartridge to a Sumiko Bluepoint 2... I had the dealer install it, but I am not sure if they installed it right as they were just a couple of kids... Now I have a lot more surface noise I didn't have before, and more importantly, I get a loud static pop every few seconds... Can a improperly intalled cartridge cause these pops? Thanks.

Indeed - I've had dealers set up my cartridges and they NEVER got it right. I allow them to do it because they get it somewhat close, but I always fine tune. Sometimes it takes months before the cartridge breaks in and fine tuning is settled
