I clean them in the sink, with bi-directional sweeps and a thorough rinse with distilled water. then I apply CEDAR noise reduction to them. got the CEDAR units for a song on Ebay a few decades back. nothing else works better for eliminating clicks and crackle on old records.
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?
