Bin dug noisy records. Does it diminish your enjoyment?

You don't need to spend a fortune to get LP's clean that play quietly if you are willing to do it manually. I used to do a lousy job, just before playing, always too noisy.

Now I clean a batch of 10 while listening to other music until they are thoroughly dry.

I use these baby scalp brushes, scrub aggressively

you can see my cleaning setup in one of the photos of this LP listing of mine on eBay

Plastic sheet; cover the paper label; my mix (more alcohol and a few drops of Finish-dishwasher rinse agent); scrub agressively; spin machine is only for rinse, distilled water only; drying rack.

I’ve got bunch of records from my father and couple of them r pretty old late 40s-50... those two records are made on some much heavier vinyl also the flexibility of those discs is far from modern LPs. The vinyl looks more like bakelite, it chip off easily.  I tried to play those records ones but unfortunately I couldn’t even hold one truck so noisy clicking and popping it was.. washing and cleaning did not made  any difference... the records just unlistenable.

@surfmuz are you talking about 78rpm gramophone records you tried to play with a wrong needle on the wrong turntable on the wrong speed ??? 

Probably it’s gramophone. Labels are off on those discs and no pockets or any other info on them. 

For five bucks or maybe ten, you should be getting an LP with a near flawless surface, assuming the particular example is not some collectible item. (Some very minor scuffing might or might not create audible problems, but why take a chance?) Don't buy crappy looking LPs.  That visible damage cannot be corrected by any level of washing or preservative. Which is why I never buy on-line.  Visible inspection and a high rejection rate will still not fully protect you from buying an LP that is worn out, once in a while.  When that happens, I bin them.

Life has surface noise
