Crackle while I am turning up the volume

The Entry Level
Submitted by jhendrix on

Hello,

I notice that while I am turning up the volume (either manually or with the remote) on my integrated amp, there is a slight crackle that accompanies the music. It stops when I have completed the volume increase. I haven't noticed this before.

The only things I've changed are connecting my turntable through the Bellari phono tube amp through Aux (previously I connected it directly to the internal phono stage of the amp) and I have upgraded the speaker cable. Or does my amp need a service (it's only about 2 years old -- the Marantz PM 7001)?

Which speaker for my room? Focal Chorus 807V or 836V

Hi,
I'm new to this thread but I am not stranger to the Focal brand. I have been looking at the chorus line but am not sure which model to get.
I am moving into a new place and the dimensions of my room will be 10x13, and have two roommates. I am a bass head so
I'm leaning towards 836V floorstanding speakers, but still I'm concerned that this may be overwhelming for such a small space. Because of this concern I am considering the 807V bookshelf, but I'm afraid I won't get enough bass from them.

I will use these speaker for 80%music, 20%movies.
