I started doing that, but then even the most obscure old stuff I had on vinyl became available on CD, so the necessity went away! The only ones I had to do in the end were bootleg LPs.
Is there any Phono Preamplifier which has both clicks and pop removal (Like SAE 5000) and with low frequency out of phase noise reduction.
Thanks and regards.
Thanks and regards.
I dont have any crackle or ticks and pops at all. But if I did, I'd digitize the vinyl thing, clean it up with software and play it thru a really good DAC. Or just throw the vinyl away and download an HD mastered digitized version. But thats too extremist for some people, I guess.

I have had a lot of fun downloading stuff from an Aus site that archives all kinds of earlier Aus vinyl singles/albums found at garage sales, flea markets, charity stores, pawn shops, recycling centres etc etc......mostly no hope of any of these becoming modern releases so no meaningful copyright infringements.
In among the history aspect is the range of quality of transfers, and the range of original recording equipments and range of production values, all individually audible.

If it doesnt exist, I still dont need to keep an old LP of it. Plenty of good music from all around the world to choose from....One could never hear it all in several life times. I gave away my LP collection - didnt sell them -- all away. Many rare and played once LP in the collection. Who cares that much for LP's? Plenty of other great tunes to listen to. I mean, how many times can one hear the same old song without getting bored with it. ??

I remember Benjamin B. Bauer as being responsible, but it appears others were involved as well.

A method has been developed for detecting spurious impulse noise in an audio signal. The discriminant is absence of decay envelope, determined by a comparison of the suspected impulse with the waveform in which it occurs. The method has been applied to a quality-control device for testing records.

I think the SAE 5000 was an early example of an analog bucket brigade delay in use. It seems to be the there was a similar device from Burwin. Here is more on what is available today: Getting Rid of That Snap, Crackle & Pop
I would digitize and process rather than deal with vinyl but I accept that I'm a heretic.

1000 samplers/transmission gates in a row, must sound even worse than
10 op amps in a row. 😀

It was a stretch to get 70dB THD+N out of them. Owner's manual says -60dB THD/IMD

1. I can never forgive you for not making me the recipient of the LP's.
2. Every week I check multiple places around town that sell them, and Craigslist. Being on the hunt is a great hobby, and they don't just sit on a shelf once I get them. (I sell off (cheaply) or donate whatever I don't like or isn't on my little list for a collection I want to have)
That does not hurt vinyl very badly.
Philips had scopes based on such chips. Fast in, slow out.
Was quite a noisy crock.
Cheers, Gerhard

did not use bucket brigade delay line, rather jfet based sample and hold and works very well

OTOH Dick was a great believer in lots of op-amps in the signal path. Still going disco ball and all http://www.burwenaudio.com/Biography.html
