Bin dug noisy records. Does it diminish your enjoyment?

Yeah, I don’t tolerate surface noise. No need too as there’s plenty available that are quiet. Usually that is. Or just needs cleaned.

I find that CDs take more costly maintenance than LPs especially if you factor in the replacement costs after you throw them away.

Not at all if it is good music but if you clean them well a lot of those noisy records can be utterly silent and in remarkable condition for their age.

Not anymore!  Been digging my Sweetvinyl Sugarcube SC-2 with surface noise masking upgrade.  I turn my $1 and $2 record show finds into near mint vinyl, then make a hi res digital file of them for my server.  Love it, but, of course, I clean my records first.  Using a cheep and cheerful KAB vacuum cleaner.  Great results, tons of listening pleasure. I probably won't live long enough to spin all the vinyl I have.

I washed about 20 LPs with a Spin Clean, got a lot of dirt etc. in the bottom of the cleaner. The old washed records sound very good now, (Tom Jones looks a little scratched up, have not tried that one yet).
So I will get them all washed, and find a replacement for Tom. Everything has been going into MoFi inner sleeves, and the Vinyl Styl outer sleeves, because sliding an LP out of a paper sleeve is painful. Livin' and Learnin' in my new hobby here.
