I still think the top 10 or 50s matter. It has always helped me pick out the songs that I need to add to my playlist. If those lists don't exist, getting the latest songs that I like won't be actually easy.

You are right. Recording with all that noise is never easy. What I normally do is close the door, get the mic very close, and in some cases, I turn off the AC and fan.

Dynamic mics has always been of great help to me. Which one do you use most nowadays and do moving the mic closer cut the background enough for you?

If you have the two items mentioned you're really well set. For me it was a turntable that kept the speed constant with no pitch variation. A Technics 1200 MK6 did it for me. I have several MM, an MI and an HOMC and LOMC cartridges. I don't find their subtle differences critical.
I've found for me that a good line stage preamp is more an improvement in the sound than the few phono preamps I've used. And lastly, the loudspeaker is the most important. High sensitivity from this website was the end of my wanderlust.
