Iridium stilius?
No, Diamond stylus on Boron cantilever. 55 years, correct. That's when my father let me in his tool box. I was about 13. Click & pops are most likely caused from dirt in the grooves or static. New records aren't any better than old as a matter of fact QC has gone downhill since the 60's due to high demand and fewer pressing plants + corporate greed.
I've been to Jack Whites place in Nashville a couple times. They have their own pressing machine that they use to record the sessions, and even a very old carnival booth you can have your very own record pressed!
That's my speed... 33 1/3:)
