Part two is not a problem having de-clicking in real-time. And getting up from the sofa every 25 min or so is just positive for health, although some might be see this as a inconvenient.
Yes, I'm finding the repetition of these memes akin to a stuck record.This is rather getting boring to see under every post about turntables and Vinyl
I’m sure most people won’t be bothered by 1-2 pops per LP side.
sure if there is a hair or dust stuck on the tip of the stylus the whole LP with sound like popcorn… but keeping a LP clean isn’t that difficult either.
Sometimes Vinyl is all there is for some music.
Not everything got digital releases.
You may be right, I don't know.
As do I of the never ending claims of the stuff like above,
Again, you've repeated yourself to the point where your attempts at "humor" have ceased to be funny. They are now simply annoying. There are people who like their LPs, deal with it. I like my CD transcriptions of 78s, some are very early electrics, like the Bing Crosby CD I got two days ago. Those recordings mark the beginning of electrical recording and the "talkies". Loving music is not always about hearing the music in the best sounding, most convenient, and least expensive way, Sometimes the music isn't all that well recorded in the first place, like the 1928 recording of Tchaikovsky's 5th symphony I got two days ago or the 1930's set of Beethoven sonatas I got the same day.
I get what your saying.
I don't bother worrying about wire anymore. I used to be a "true believer", gave that up a long time ago.
I figure 99.9% of the folks around here have already figured that one out.

Considering all the known, absolutely verifiable sonic issues with the LP media, both on the cutting side and playback side, doesn't that tell you there's a fly in the ointment of that statement?
I think my reaction points to the limits of what one can find audibly pleasing. I am perfectly aware of the measurable issues of the LP media, but I can only state what I have heard myself. I'm pretty sure you never have heard the best in LP reproduction, which explains why you accepted the sound of digital playback so soon after introduction. On the other hand, I somehow managed to become friends with people working at the design and manufacturing level who continued to develop and improve LP playback well after the introduction of CDs. You and Matt Hooper have been going 'round and 'round on this issue since God knows when, and I have little doubt that Matt has the sort of playback gear and media that would demonstrate how good LPs can sound. But I doubt you have heard such gear yourself. Hearing such gear and LPs at shows/exhibitions hardly ever counts as the set-up and the room are important factors. Of course, listening with an open mind is an even more important factor.
Now you sound just like all the rest of the audiophools on the believer sites, it's either my gear or my ears that I can't hear what you describe. All the million dollar rigs I hear at the audio shows each year, with 50+ years of listening experience, nothing counts except what you say you can hear. I thought we were above that crap here.
He did not ask if he should buy a turntable. He asked about buying a turntable that would suit his specific needs, presumably with his mind made up that it's something he wants to do based on how the entire post was written. What he received are a bunch of answers and advice to questions he didn't even ask.
Just IMHO very good advice before he makes a mistake based on things he may have read elsewhere.
Discussion is about turntables, not record cleaning mashines, what would be worth another two or three threadsI'm not into Vinyl. But, you may want to look into something like this:
This is a Pro-ject model and sells for about $500 US. These machines can work wonders for a record. But, you'll still be listening to an obsolete format.
