Bin dug noisy records. Does it diminish your enjoyment?


I have some original pressed (or at least very old) LPs bought used at Half price books, and record stores, and not at Collector prices, as such there is on some a bit of popping and noise, and one or two that were just trash.
So I ask, when you pick up a $5 ish record that plays with some well earned noise but is playable, does that take away from your enjoyment knowing it is and old war horse?

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.


@surfmuz are you talking about 78rpm gramophone records you tried to play with a wrong needle on the wrong turntable on the wrong speed ??? 
Probably it’s gramophone. Labels are off on those discs and no pockets or any other info on them. 
For five bucks or maybe ten, you should be getting an LP with a near flawless surface, assuming the particular example is not some collectible item. (Some very minor scuffing might or might not create audible problems, but why take a chance?) Don't buy crappy looking LPs.  That visible damage cannot be corrected by any level of washing or preservative. Which is why I never buy on-line.  Visible inspection and a high rejection rate will still not fully protect you from buying an LP that is worn out, once in a while.  When that happens, I bin them.
@surmuz it’s shellac, not vinyl, they are mono and probably played to death with steel needles in the 40s. Those are made before RIAA was invented. It’s different technology.
So you need completely different needle to play those 78rpm today, and you can’t compare them even to old microgroove (stereo 33rpm) high fidelity LPs from the 60s for example.
