RE: Really???

I have a Denon DP80, close cousin to the DP75. Mine is mounted in a slate plinth and I use a Dynavector DV505 tonearm on it. I agree those are great tables. I cannot or would not afford a $30K tt, either. But that's beside the point. No one said that you must have a very expensive tt to enjoy vinyl or even to make vinyl "quiet". (A turntable alone can never do that anyway, since most noise is introduced from the LP surface, by the propensity of the cartridge to translate surface noise into signal, or from the phono stage, way ahead of tt noise per se.) If you just don't like vinyl, you should be looking elsewhere for audio pleasure. No point beating on what you seem to feel is a dead horse.

I would like to hear what you consider to be objectionable "noise" on your vinyl system, but that won't happen because we live thousands of miles apart. Certainly your one specific mention of a singular Horace Silver LP does not prove your point. However, I suspect that you are bothered by kinds of noise that the rest of us can ignore in favor of the greater verisimilitude of vinyl compared to the various alternatives. That does not make you a bad person. For you, there is digital.

All of that said, if you told us more about your vinyl reproduction chain, someone here might help you to minimize the noise you find so objectionable.
