@herman , The record is noisy because of the conditions it was subject to during it’s manfacture. All the records pressin that run were subject to the exact same conditions. If the stamper was bad, all the records that come off that stamper (1000) will be just as noisy. If you wait until another run is made you might get a quiet one.
that is a bit different than your original post where you said "they would all be like this." If it is the stamper then of course yes, but you did not say that, you said "all" and "the noise is in the stampers" as if all stampers are noisy. I hate to be the grammar police and don’t want to get in a pissing contest, but all I can go on is what you state.
and I disagree that it is definitelvly in the stamper. I bought a record from Acoustic Sounds recently that had a crackling noise throughout. They replaced it and the second record is just fine. While it is possible I got pressings from different stampers, I doubt it since it came from the same seller. Also, they replaced it with no hassle, but told me they had no other complaints or returns of this title. If others got the same noisy record I did I can’t imagine there would not have been more returns.
All that said, I wholeheartedly agree with your last statement about the condition of most current pressings. I have been overwhelmingly pleased with them.
thanks for the feedback
