Choosing between Reissue and Original pressings

At the end of Day: Each his own:- )Unfortunately a lot of Press Plants
closed in the 90's and most Know How is gone. Now only a few do it,
more or less good, but honestly, only a quality shadow from those
records we got in the 80's++. From my experience, most reissues are
horrible from quality, hardly a side which is completely silent. Acoustic
Sounds always made a good job, maybe a few others, too, but in general
these problems have nothing to do with the Playback System. I think,
sooner or later we will find cartridge designers who offer round needles
again, because they are not so sensitive (Lyra Kleos for example is made
for those). But this is like riding a dead horse...MP3 sound with vinyl

Reissues can't be better than an Original, this is technically not possible,
best what can be done is to get it as close as possible to the Original
one, but normally they are worse (you can hear it immediately in the
higher frequencies and in the tonal colors). Listening with a cheap
cartridge and Originals is better than with expensive carts + reissues. It
is a matter of experience....

With some luck it can be a view in an era which will never came back. 50 years later we discover, that the Equipment and Brain created something which is unique:
Atmosphere
The impression to be a part of that recording session. When one or the other reader wants to change the normal way of spending and spending to get different results but not better ones (from the feeling) do yourself a favor:
Buy a 2. Hand Lyra Dorian / Helikon mono cartridge, look for your favorite record in original mono pressing and listen. But you need an Arm with adjustable VTA...
It can give a fascination and sonic pleasure which is special.

Playpen
There are so few exceptions it's not worth wasting the money to find out for me anymore.I got tired of wasting 25-30 bucks for an LP and after 2 minutes of play it comes off the TT never to be played again...

Yes. That's it in 2 sentences.
