doc w: Notice that very few are fessing up. And the pops and ticks on classical was a major reason folks who prefer digital cited as why.

At various times, I've given away hundreds of classical LPs because I can't stand the surface noise. In all cases, these were used LPs, including one large collection someone had given me.

I once bought a mint-looking Solti Mahler 3 that had surface noise throughout--and there are many quiet passages in this long symphony. Someone offered to clean it on his machine, so I sent it to this person, and it came back to me noise intact.

This was five years ago. I no longer have the record, the cartridge, or the stylus, so I can't replicate the experience in the here and now. I gave up on classical LPs that day. The only one I now have is a set of Vivaldi concertos conducted by Bernstein that I've not found on CD.

I think you said, doc w, that your collection is made up of LPs of which you've been the only owner. Maybe if that were true for me, I might not have had all the problems I've had. Who can say?

I don't mind classical on CD. It's how I first came to listen to classical, so I have little familiarity with classical on LP in any case.
