I think you should consider a low-tech solution like simply cleaning your
records. You can buy an excellent cleaner at the following URL:
http://www.turntablelab.com/index1.html
....and go to the "accessories" section.
Turntablelab has a solid reputation. They want to make money by only selling
quality products that they use themselves. Here's their description of their
record cleaner that you can get in their "Accessories" section. This cleaner
may get rid of the clicks and pops on any of our vinyl that's not by Pole =)
Good luck!

Groovy Record Cleaner
price: 13.00
available: yes
item #: acc-024
This is a true story: Back at Lab II, we had a undersized pit of an office.
Un jour (gay french for one day), we had a water leak in our ceiling. The
crud-filled water soaked our vinyl gems. The water dried and left a thick
film of grime that stuck to the vinyl like shepard's pie. We sprayed a
little somethin' somethin' of Groovy Cleaner, and no joke this shit made the
records sound better than before. Even some noticeable cracks had
disappeared. Electric Ladyland never sounded so sweet. Now we swear to this
stuff. This bottle paid for itself when it miracle cleaned a bunch of 45s we
picked up at the flea market. This bottle will last you a while and it comes
with a lint-free, static-free cloth.
