It's possible that we have different tolerance for surface noise. Most of my LPs are mint, bought new. Those are clean. On the used front, I am usually very picky. Too many times, something that even looks perfect ends up having a disturbing amount of wear (equals noise). OTOH, when required, I can listen around it. For example, I have a UK pressing of a Brian Eno LP, which is head and shoulders above the US pressing and I can enjoy it despite the moderate amount of crackle. But I'd be a lot happier with it if it were clean. Most of what I see cheap is essentially thrashed.
