Maybe because the crackle is not in the recording. Perhaps I'm confused by what is being discussed here, but the crackle that you're hearing is often not in the recording itself. Rather, it is surface noise on the LP that cheap carts and phone stages will pick up and emphasize, but will never be heard on a better set up. I guess I agree with Tom Hankins on this one; having heard those same differences myself. In fact, it's pretty much irrefutable - anyone can hear the difference.
