What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear?

I use a Talisman to mitigate static and a good US cleaning to eliminate dust and dirt. I have silent playback from vinyl! Some of the older records have surface scratches from rough handling 50 years ago and of course a few dings here and there.

Despite @geoffkait’s statement, it works. I won’t dispute his infinite knowledge and omnipotence, but it works. The Talisman stops the clicks and pops no matter what it does or how it works. I never said it's anti-static, don't put words in my mouth, I said it mitigates the noise caused by static electricity. For more information https://walkeraudio.com/. The designer helped NASA solve the static electricity problems that, combined with raw oxygen, blew up Apollo 1 with the three astronauts in it. His invention comes directly from that experience, thank you very much.

Oh omnipotent one, thou dost not read the post. I said he he fixed it, . You're welcome! And, have a nice day.

I don't give a rat's behind and I do know the difference oh omni-impotent one. It works. De-Gauss, de-static, de-magnetize, whatever. It works!!! Thanks for the lesson. What else can you tell me that I already know?
I also see that you like to bully people if they don't agree with you. Wanna fight?

@johnss I use a US bath for new records as well as used. I use a cleaning agent used in hospitals that is anti-static as well as a cleaner and disinfectant (my records are also germ free). After the bath the records are rinsed twice (once with a special sauce) using a vacuum RCM. I always use a new sleeve as well. After a record has been played several times the shear friction of playing causes a static buildup, then I De-Gauss, De-static or de-magnetize (whatever @Geoffkait wants to call it). And...it works.
