I've purchased a few Classic records and for the most part have been happy with them. But the copy I bought new of Peter Gabriel 2 is completely wrecked on the lead in spiral of side 1, and visibly so, the vinyl is like an unpaved road so that the fade in of the sequencer is totally unpleasant to listen to. Side 2 is a little better but still suffers form too many ticks and pops. It's not dirty, I have a VPI 16 and the vinyl is simply badly manufactured, this one should have landed in the remelt bin but it snuck through their QC. I know, I should have returned it while I had the chance...anyone else have a similar experience?
New Records noisy
I am wondering about the new records - mainly Reissuses - I bought.
I think, they are much more noise than a few years before ?
Any experiences ?
When I compare for example the old 180g Classic records, they are super silent and the new yinyl from them is more noisy. I have to clean them much more with a record cleaning machine than before.
And when I buy 2. hand vinyl, the old one, no audiophile, they are silent.
