Also if you always handle your vinyl by the edge and always clean before each play with a carbon fiber brush you should never have "pops or scratches". The best vinyl playback is very quiet indeed.Try to avoid American Major label pressings especially from the mid 1980's as they can be very noisy due to the using all recycled vinyl. The best are Audiophile pressings, UK pressings, French pressings, German pressings and Japanese pressings. The United States makes some great stuff, but LPs are not one due they say to our environmental laws.
But even on a less expensive turntable you should not be having the problems you are, here are so things to check.
1) Turntable could be out of balance?
2) Turntable could be on a poorly designed shelf?
3) VTA could be out of adjustment?
4) Could be time to replace the stylus?
5) Stylus may have a small invisible hair on it, take a magnifying glass to locate and remove it. This happens to me sometimes, for some reason the hair will not come off with the stylus brush unless you are looking right at it. One of Murphy's silly laws?Anyway what you are describing is how Vinyl sounds on a $39 BSR turntable that tracks at 6 grams.
With a great turntable on CD player or even SACD player can even come close. Especially using a Moving Coil Cartridge with a frequency response of say 10Hz – 75kHz.
Happy listening,
