my 2cents worth--
most people start buying (used) classical music by the state of the vinyl. The cleaner the copy, the better, is the starting reference point.
Totally wrong, IMHO. Those records s**k, because the previous owner didn't like it and NEVER LISTENED TO IT. Get the classical records that look like they've had a long, happy, busy life.
Listen to it, get past the surface noise, etc. and if you like the music, find the same LP in better shape.
