What you need is one of those laser stylus based turntables. I kid you not, they read the groove with a laser beam and can play warped, grimy, even broken disks (if the parts are arranged correctly in the tray). Apparently the sound is as clean as you can possibly get and you only hear what has been recorded (no artifacts from your needle arm)...

Unfortunately, they cost an arm and a leg :-(

It's a complete fallacy that CD audio is clean. Aliasing is detectable on the upper fringe of human hearing (for original signals of 22kHz+) and the dynamic range is not too great either. However, on most systems you'll never notice. On a state of the art setup (including the laser turntable), vinyl completely kicks CD's a*se...
