I know just what you mean. It is why I hardly ever mess with modern pressings. If you want to listen to a lot of different music, especially new, give up and stream it. If you want to listen to really good music, really good recordings, and with the very best sound quality, then search out the best vintage vinyl and accept that used is the tradeoff for better.
I don't play music for background while puttering around doing other stuff, all my listening is high quality sit and do nothing but. So this is an easy one for me, and I go even further and buy a very few Hot Stampers because the sound is to die for even though I could easily buy five or ten perfectly decent records for the cost of one Hot Stamper. Last night listening to the 1812 I know I made the right choice. I also no there is no new music out there can touch it. But there is plenty of "new to me" old music that good. So why mess with new?
