Hi DennisBdrmDJ 2.0
My second option was the audiophile anal route and not for everyone. As you have pointed out, it's not cheap!(hence still living at home in my 30s, plus a housing crisis in the UK, I'm an introvert so don't socialise much, nor do I drink or smoke...but I digress). The first option is more than adequate.
Regarding my too pristine recordings, on the 1st one at 24 and 26 seconds, on the left speaker, you can hear very faint crackle.
I do a 2 step clean using a vacuum record cleaner. 1st clean with cleaning fluid, 2nd clean with distilled water. As long as you don't over dry the record or wear any super synthetic clothing, you should be ok with static.
Having the high end equipment, the cleaning machine and looking after my records (I have a number that need replacing from the early days when I wasn't so careful
) help make them sound they way they do.
How long did it take you do your records? I have a mere 700 and have only done about 50 so far and finding it mind boggling tedious.
Clean record, record both sides, edit tracks, listen to tracks for noise (reclean and rerecord if too much noise), master tracks, upload to youtube.
