If one chooses to become a LP disciple, it starts with putting the effort to either bin dive and do some kind of cleaning or open your wallet-get a "stamper"(enough plugging for you know who).
If you choose not to do either, then you're left with those questionable overpriced reissues and "audiophile" LPs.
I own many different colored jumpsuits for my "stamper" finds.
Clicks and pops can be minimize to the point of just about "perfect" but that goes back to effort. After that, if the system is decent an errant stitch is easily dismissed for an organic, believable presentation.
