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?

Always send back poor vinyl. It is not acceptable. We master and cut vinyl in-house using the best vintage gear and the best engineers. We use the best pressing plant in the world. We have reviews from tech experts and music critics alike (and Fremer) and mostly get 4 and 5 star reviews. We try for AAA whererever possible and if the source is digital, only cut from 24/96 or 192 (yes 192!). I am not going to tell you who we are, becaseu this is not a shameless plug, but rather that there are a few of us doing it right. Our guiding light is Mercury Lvigin Presnece or RCA recording of old. Mr. Fine had it right. Read about Robert Fine and one will uindertand the legnths wie go to for both our won releases and 3rd party releases. 

The point of my diatribe is, please continue to buy new vinyl otherwise peole like us will fade away.
...and don't worry, the number of typos in my paragraph is inversely correlated with the clicks on our records!
