How do you get past the pops and hiss of LPs?

well said Rich, I agree with you, I just get tired of some people who misquote others so they can try to justify their opinions. Sorry for the unprofessionalism on my part.

Hey Guys, this is some pretty funny stuff. I posted on this thread back on 6/18. Back then we were talking about records and turntables. I came back after six days and it's like a blood bath.

Records are cool. Been listening to em' for 35 years. But, don't kid yourselves, digital is coming into it's own. And I now often find myself listening to my CD rig more often than my analog rig.

At the least, be willing to accept both formats for whatever their virtues may be. And they both have their goods and bads. Keep an open mind.

Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open.

Ease up guys relax!!!!!!
How do you get past hiss and pops??

Well you can try having a Boa constrictor near by for the hiss to be common and train your ears to it...
the pop well why not do the same with a corn poper pot in the kitchen.......

At first you fell in love with music then you'd like to improve the experience and then it gets complicated.....

Sometimes is hard to stay in topic isn't it....
go back to the music and enjoy

I know you meant well but these types of smart aleck, alcoholic comments only serve to further exacerbate the problem. As you can tell by now.
