How do you get rid of loud crackling noise on Lps?


I just bought a record that looks like new & cleaned it on my VPI 17 Record Cleaner & still have loud crackling noise in the background. Is there any way of getting ride of this noise? The record looks like New! What caused this loud crackling noise? Thanks for any help you might give me.....JH

I've got the best solution:

Find the same one without loud crackling noise.
I can say that now I've none such records and yes I did change for better ones(that I needed to have in my collection) and gave or sold or dumped the noisy ones elsewhere. It never matters how good this record looks to me but depending on the price I'd realy ask for the playing test if it's too valuable and expencive. I also do have records that look like shit but sound dead quiet.

I bet that there are not too many records that are only one and everything has a proper replacement. I tell you as a holder of a records that had been produced in just few hundreds of copies and still I bet I can get you one to replace if neccessary.

All the most 'phools do is an alchemy that will never turn from iron gold. For better results you should apply 25 cleaning cycles but first think of wasting an expencive liquids instead of just simply getting a different one.
one more hint:
i usually try to "upgrade" US records for german since german ones indeed as quiet as CDs and much superior sonically. certainly i pay more but trying to find a good online deals from there.
