Page 1 of Wharfedale 750s - Crackly sound

I have the 750s going thru a basic AIWA mini system (phonos, into Aux input).

The sound is sometimes a bit crackly on certain frequencies, it sounds a bit like vinyl with scratches.

This is for both DVD sound and CD sound (its possibly worse on CD sound).

I can control the input signal via a knob on the back of the AIWA and there is an output volume on the WHARFEDALE - which is full by default. I have changed both these settings, but without success.

Any ideas?

Sounds to me like you`re overloading your stereo system. That, or you need a better phono lead. I wouldn`t panic - I`d be pretty sure it`s not the player. My systems the same, but I know it`s crap. My speakers are wired up with bell wire - the lousiest, cheapest way to do it. Perhaps you should invest in pro-logic. It`s dirt cheap, beats stereo into a cocked hat, and what it lacks in quality it makes up for in sheer balls! My system crackles, but I don`t care!
