A whole pile of things to listen too! Never bought any singles, but
lots of LPs, now converted to CD. Before I get shot down; done for 3
reasons, to remove the worst clicks & pops, convenience, and car
compatibility.

You recorded your LPs to CD, and used software to process the files to
remove clicks and pops?

Rather you than me.

I'll take the clicks and pops and have the unadulterated, otherwise-
hi-fi sound. By filtering out the clicks and pops, you are removing
information, and with it, fidelity.

Apologies if I have misunderstood you.

Only the worst, and those were done by hand! (Apart from some really
battered old records that had already lost all pretence to Hi-Fi)

It can be worth the small quality loss. Here is something I recently
did for a friend, from a really horrible old 45. I used the Waves
noise reduction plugins in Adobe Audition in essentially automatic
mode. I just selected thresholds and reduction levels manually. She
was VERY happy with the result. Sorry about the 128k MP3s, but the
WAVs were too big.

Rubbish.

Take a wav file of an LP track.
Use Goldwave or some such free software to de-click it.
Invert the clean file and add it to the original.
The new file* just contains clicks, pops and silence.
This proves that the de-click algorithm is a jolly good thing.

*You can add this to your CD tracks to give them the "vinyl sound".

Absolutely - well worth a little time and trouble. Well, actually
about ten minutes of time.

The DVD of Kubrick's "Eyes Wide shut".
Why ?

Because I became totally intrigued by Kubrick's use of Ligeti's Ricercata
No. 2 (as the menacing piano chords at strategic points in the film), and
this has led directly and indirectly to me renewing my long-time interest in
(piano) music, buying very many more CDs, trying to play said piece of
music, listening to a much wider variety of repertoire, buying MiniDisc
recorders, microphones and doing my own recordings etc.
And generally getting very good value out of my existing loudspeakers,
tuner, amplifier etc. instead of just using them for background music. Have
even started to search out and listen to live music again...

It's does highlight the (my) biggest problem with recording vinyl -
recording level. Setting it to cope with high-level clicks and scratches
must reduce the resolution of the wanted music, or alternatively introduce
digital distortion into the mix. This processing technology is superb for
putting new life into old cassette tapes though.
