Vinyl cleanliness


How many albums do you own that don't have ANY pops or clicks from beginning to end after a thorough cleaning? I have yet to find one, and was curious as to your results.
And yes, I know how to clean my albums ;)

Most of my albums are very quiet as well, with very few to no pops and ticks. (There will be some low level noise between tracks, but that is to be expected.)

One thing you can do to alleviate that problem is to wet clean your records and vacuum them dry before you play them, and that includes the brand new ones. Then use a carbon fiber brush before every play to get rid of any stray dust. This will keep your records from quickly accumulating pops and ticks. (However, nothing will keep them pristine forever, so the occasional pop and tick is to be expected and lived with, as that is just the nature of the beast.)

My two cents worth.
