how much noise is noise?

The dead silent cd background is cool, but not necessarily realistic as has been pointed out here. But, sure, LP's have some noise. But listen through that to the classical music. The nuances, bowing, the noise from the strings, the breathing of George Szell and concertmasters and cellists, the bass in the string bass of the Egmont music Szell VPO, etc. How about the power of Mick Fleetwoods The Chain from Rumors, the bo jangles as it were of the folk singers such as Kingston Trio, Baez, Mitchell, etc. These sounds are definitely to be enjoyed on analog.

9 out of 10 non audiophiles visiting my home, and hearing analog done decently on a decent system are amazed that there is "no noise," and ask "what did you do?" My answer, "not much." Just clean thrifts, put in rice or nice sleeves, store, and rotate. FFRR points out that records get worse when played, and that's a given.
