Jeff,
I also had problems with pops and snaps when I first re-entered the world of vinyl about 8 years ago. Through the use of record cleaning machine's, and/or steaming, proper grounding, and eliminating static with a Walker Talisman, I now have vinyl that is as quiet but more involving than digital. Of course, like Dan_ed, I never gave up on digital either, though I have simplified. No more digital seperates for me.....a nice CDP does just fine.
Cheers,
John
