Frustrated with Vinly

Hey All,

Just coming here to let out out my frustration with Vinyl. I know that Vinyl takes patience but it's frustrating when playing some of my newer records and they have noises that I do not want to hear. Meaning, I try to clean them and they still have noise (pops, crackles, etc). When playing at low volumes of course you do not hear as much but when I turn up the volume is when it gets irritating. 

I can understand if older vinyl would sound like this but these are my newer records that I bought (amazon or barnes and nobles).

Now, I know the products that I am using are probably not great in the first place and I will probably need to upgrade to some more serious cleaner).

Currently trying to use a combo of: Kaiu Vinyl record cleaning set and I have also tried the Audio Technica AT6012 Record Care Kit.

So now I am considering either a Spin Clean type system or Pro-Ject  VC-S2 ALU Type cleaning system.

Any suggestions?

I almost want to give up on Vinyl sometimes and stick to digital (cd, hi res files, qobuz streaming).

Current equipment: denon dp-300f w/2m blue cart.

Thanks

Jay

Why not buy a db power amp program for under $50 rip all your CDs to 8 highest flac file rip  or download Hirez music from HD Trax and buy a great Vacuum tube Dac like the very reasonably priced Lampizator Amber 3 for $2800 beats dacs 2x + this . Buy the best USB cable a Final touch audio most natural Analog cable out there under $1k. And also stream through
your computer JRivers media 26, down load the Jremote app on your iPad ,even tidal and Roon  no more headaches just pick what 
you want to hear ,and you can tune your dac by upgrading rectifier tubes,as well as the 12au7 signal tube to nos vintage tubes to your 
systems balance or taste and sounds excellent.
