Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs?

A vinyl collection is a must for me. I also have a couple thousand of them but 80% bought used, mostly back in the seventies. Used record stores were huge back then. I played some way too many times since then for some not to have some type of background noises in them. I catalog those as slightly noisy and they are not bothersome to me at all. Any that I list as little noisy, I usually look for a NM copy unless the price is unrealistic. If so I look for a new repress. All that to say that records do wear over time as it is the nature of the vinyl. In the end I am so glad to now have CDs and streaming to take the load off playing records over and over like I used to. My ratio is vinyl 10%, CDs 10%, streaming 80%. Meaning my vinyl collection will now remain nearly perfect for what's left of my life. I enjoy the quality of the 3 medias equally and use streaming the most to discover new music. Life in the audio world has never been better.

Have you treated the records with anything?  I have albums that are over 40 years old that I treated with LAST (other threads have discussed this product) with excellent results.  It does quiet down the surface noise IMO. 

I may be influenced by having listened to vinyl records back when that was all there was. Compared to those days, my records are now silent. Compared to a CD, well probably very nearly so. But I'm a bit of an obsessive about cleaning records, and I think it pays.

Some LP's are quite quiet: old ones I have scrubbed, some new ones after I have cleaned factory gunk off/out of them however:

In the old days, prior to CDs, we had acquired the ability to filter out noise, clicks, pops, just hear what we wanted to. Like listening to the wife!

After noiseless CD, back to Vinyl, I had to re-acquire that ability. Younger friends, new to Vinyl, aware of the sound of streaming, I find have more difficulty with any LP noise, I try to give them the concept of not being bothered, but they seek 'perfect, noiseless' vinyl. A mistake IMO.

Also clean the stylus.  Just as important as cleaning you records.
