Will I get that vinyl crackle sound with this player or no?

MoonmaulerThat depends on the condition your record is in. No turntable no matter how good will get rid of it if its scratched into the record.

Moonmaulerif the record isn't in pristine condition then yes. A cheap turntable may add some hiss and crackle, but 90% of the time it's from the record. IMHO vinyl isn't worth it because all modern music is processed digitally then put onto a record so it's still digital sounding.

WebstThe theory behind vynil is that it's analog and not digital. This is claimed to have infinate resolution and better dynamics. I won't rant on how audiophiles get the two types of compression mixed up, but the dynamic range on vynil won't be better as all the audio is still processed digitally first.

TheZBombRead Nyquist-Shannon theorem and come back to me and we'll sort out infinite vinyl resolution bs.

WebstWell then a record has absolutely nothing going for it because digital has no fundamental issues whereas vynil does. So the point still stands the records are pointless besides being a "cheap" gimmick.

WebstWell I'm glad we could come to an agreement on that.

TheZBombPerhaps if you could spell correctly, your argument might hold more weight. You spelled both "vinyl" and "infinite" wrong.
Aside from the spelling mistakes, please expand on what you mean by "the theory of vynil [sic] is that it's analog and not digital." What theory? Are you referring to why some say vinyl sounds better than CD? If so, I would argue that it's not because vinyl is analog, but rather because the music is mastered differently. By your logic, SACD and DVD Audio should sound identical to CD because, after all, they're all digital and come from the same source recording.
Also, "A cheap turntable may add some hiss and crackle, but 90% of the time it's from the record." Citation please?
Finally, what experience do you have to back up the following statement: "...digital has no fundamental issues whereas vynil [sic] does." There's an entire industry built around removing noise from cables, USB ports, power supplies, etc.
Many believe that vinyl has a more "organic" or "warm" sound and more faithfully reproduces the sound of instruments and vocals. Not many like the sound better because it's analog vs. digital. Will someone buy vinyl based on hype? Sure. Same as people will spend money on some audio equipment - because of the hype - sound unheard.
