there are only a handful of pressing plants left and the runs from the labels are down to as low as 350 pieces. the vinyl is not always from the same place or the same quality. cost cutting is affecting the manufacturers.in many ways, the wheels are coming off the specialty vinyl business. the 45rpm discs are also very overrated.
New Records noisy
I am wondering about the new records - mainly Reissuses - I bought.
I think, they are much more noise than a few years before ?
Any experiences ?
When I compare for example the old 180g Classic records, they are super silent and the new yinyl from them is more noisy. I have to clean them much more with a record cleaning machine than before.
And when I buy 2. hand vinyl, the old one, no audiophile, they are silent.
