Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs?

My very first and indelible recollection of being introduced to the Compact Disc from my Teen's in 1981 is to be seen in the Link.

Obviously somebody thought the TV Footage was worth finding and making accessible on Youtube.  

Shortly after nearly all my friends were abandoning their Vinyl and using CD, as it was to be in their Cars as well as their HiFi Systems.

The Irony is in my main audio system, a means to play a CD was not added until 2017.  

It depends on what you smoke or been smokin'

I have to agree with @rauliruegas in that with good TT, Tonearm, cartridge & Phono preamp, vinyl is nearly as quiet as digital. That is the norm. However, dust, seems to get in places which would seem impossible. I use anti-static sleeves & put them 90 degrees opposite of the cover opening, which is on the side. Somehow, dust STILL seems to get into the sleeve & on the record. This is what necessitates the use of an anti static brush for the album before play. Near perfect playback until one tiny particle cause an occasional tick. its not every album but sometimes. maybe I need to turn the sleeve 180 degrees. 

Yes, they are for the most part.

For removal of any visible/invisible dust particles before play, I use the Furutech Destat III followed by a 'rocket blower' (as used when working with negatives in the darkroom). Nothing except a stylus touches the record after it has been cleaned.
