The rigs may be dead quiet but records as a whole are not.
CDs are dead quiet pretty much all of the time.
Again good quality records in good shape may be very quiet to the extent that noise is a non-issue but these represent only a portion of records out there today as a whole.
I do not understand how anybody can deny these facts?
Also, I do not think the quantitatively measured noise levels of even the best phono rigs can match that of even average CD equivalents. I could be wrong but I think this is something that is substantiated by specifications and measurements even if too subtle to be apparent to many human ears perhaps.
