Bin dug noisy records. Does it diminish your enjoyment?

I have a local shop that has a whole section of $1 records.  Most are apparently in pretty bad shape, but there are those that are dirty and have only superficial scratches.

If I don't already have the record and it looks like it might clean up OK, I'll take a chance on them.  I have a DIY record vaccuum that i use for cleaning records that does an excellent job of getting grit out of the grooves, and a second turntable to try them out on. 

I also sometimes buy them if the covers are nice and one of my albums has a damaged cover.

I usually get a fair amount of keepers, and those that aren't I just donate back to the record store.  They're really nice guys with reasonable prices, so I try to do what I can to support them.

That being said, I can tolerate some surface noise.  If I like the album that much I'll search out a better copy.

Rarely will I purchase used records these days.  It would have to be something special.  Worse than trying to listen through the pops, ticks, and surface noise, is me sitting there wondering what this LP is doing to my stylus!

Yes it does. I’ve got bunch of records from my father and couple of them r pretty old late 40s-50... those two records are made on some much heavier vinyl also the flexibility of those discs is far from modern LPs. The vinyl looks more like bakelite, it chip off easily.  I tried to play those records ones but unfortunately I couldn’t even hold one truck so noisy clicking and popping it was.. washing and cleaning did not made  any difference... the records just unlistenable. 

You don't need to spend a fortune to get LP's clean that play quietly if you are willing to do it manually. I used to do a lousy job, just before playing, always too noisy.

Now I clean a batch of 10 while listening to other music until they are thoroughly dry.

@surfmuz are you talking about 78rpm gramophone records you tried to play with a wrong needle on the wrong turntable on the wrong speed ???
