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 ;)

I own close to 3000 albums. Most were brought used though i do have a few that I purchased myself up to 30 years ago. Out of that bunch, i have probably 500 that are as quiet as a CD. over 2000 may have an occasional click or pop. I have probably cycled through another 1500 that were noisy after cleaning that i kept only until i found a quiet copy. I am currently listening to a moody blues album that so far on one side had one click.

Now I clean with a RCM every record until it does not need cleaning (sometimes this takes up to 3 passes) then put in a clean sleeve. And I damp brush every time i play the record.
