used vs new

most of my used have some kind of noise but a good portion have been cleaned into submission.

Most every single new record is quiet.

Now, a noisy Rolling Stones AFTERMATH is a plus, to me. A pop or wheeze adds to the 'ambience'. And on other records there is far too much good going on for a periodic pop to ruin. Some records are in such bad condition that only the most microscopic stylus can fix the noise issue, so those records wait ...

But the noise issue overall is an issue that has to be gotten around. It is a thing that does not really have to chased to ground in all cases. Only my opinion and only for the way I listen but tochase after ultimate quiet on vinyl either takes way too much money that I aint got OR you're being diverted by a triviality.
