Different people obviously have different thresholds for annoyance wrt. surface noise. I remember way back in the 1980s I attended an open day at Naim's Salisbury factory, and it included a demo of their new SBL speakers. They put on a record (using a Linn LP12) and I was absolutely gob-smacked that they considered the crackle-fest which emerged as appropriate for a professional demo. And yet there were others in the room who seemed able to ignore it. I'm not talking about a bit of minor noise - it was like one of the musicians was using bacon in a frying pan as his instrument!
