scorpio1951109 tics and pops are caused by improper record care. That's the problem with records.....they need to be kept clean over the years. I have a '77 copy of 'Aja' I bought brand new...it still is tic and pop free. Used to have a collection of around 1200 records I sold in 1986 when CD were becoming the 'thing'. Now, I wish I had never done it. All my records were in mint condition. I did keep a few, 'Aja' being one of them. I prefer records over CD. But I have some records that sound not so good, as well as some CDs. Just my 2 cents anyway.....
CDs Vs LPs
Just wondering how many prefer CDs over LPs or LPs over CDs for the best sound quality. Assuming that both turntable and CDP are same high end quality.
