Impex Records

@mofimadness, thank you.

In my experience, Impex vinyl is among the best in the business. Saturday night  in San Francisco with Al Di Meola et al is shocking in it’s immediacy. Legrand Jazz puts you in the studio in France in 1959. Ayako Hosakawa’s Whisper of Love will make your skin tingle. The Jazz Messangers Hard Bop...Ellington Indigos...fantastic. But the pièce de résistance is Miles Davis at the Blackhawk. This is the reason that you spent all that money on your hifi...

Possible what I have isn’t the best of the best out if the impex line. 

My P Barber is sketchy in places and shockingly good in others.   The black disc can be maddening that way but many other Impex superb. 

@tomic601 Your experience is similar to mine. 
Listening to PB Cafe Blue as I type this. Sounds is actually excellent. Vinyl is noisy in some places. I’ll give it an ultrasonic bath tomorrow. 
Cluque is the worst noise wise. My favorite song on that album is the last track on side 2 and it happens to be the noisiest. Is it worth the asking price for the 45rpm Cafe, yes to me it does but borderline.
