Done buying new vinyl


Just bought a few albums recommended by a mag. Party by Aldous Harding and Beautiful Jazz by Christian Jacobs. The first has that slight buzzing distortion and dirty noise in one channel for the entire recording. The second has a two small clicks every revolution thru most of a side. The recording quality of the first varies from song to song. From very good to fair. But mostly dull with processing. The second is an AAA recording and is fair at best. Recorded too low and too muffled with flattened soundstage and dynamics. I have hundreds of 60s jazz and blues records that trounce these.
Should I send them back to Amazon?

@noromance ,

I thought the original question was, "should I send them back"?
Listen to the somewhat recently released "The Harrow and the Harvest" by Gillian Welch, and you will quickly realize that there are some great new vinyl releases out there. Holy crap does it sound fantastic.
