How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs?

I have recently got out my dad's old Thorens TT (TD 150 MKII) and listened to some of his old classical LP's. I think that it is a warmer sound than CD but I can't get passed all the noise. I asked my Dad and he said it always sounded that way. Am I doing something wrong? Do you just ignore the hiss and pops? Thanks in advance.

This will greatly reduce or elimimate clicks and pops if the record is not scratched or damaged by incorrect cartridge alignment. Eevn if the record is not mint it will sound a lot better after cleaning with a RCM and a cartridge that will reduce surface noise, once you have done these thing you will then understand why LP's sound way better than CD's.
