Maybe someone can answer this one for me. Records that I buy new sound terrible. I'm not talking about NOS, but records that were recently made. For the most part, I find them unlistenable. Sounds like a box of cereal. It doesn't seem to matter what type of record it is; audiophile pressing or regular. For cleaning I have an Orbitrack 2 and the Finyl system. Multiple cleanings really don't make any difference at all. When I get older records that are in good shape, they sound fine. I have no clue what the problem is but I put off getting better equipment until I find out what the problem is. I know that nothing is broken in the system and that everything is well matched and set up properly. This is definitely an issue with the records and not the equipment.
