I understand how new to vinyl feel people, been there done that. The following may help. On your main system only listen to vinyl for a few weeks. Give your ears a chance to adjust to the surface noise inherent to the format. With any luck you will began hear beyond the pops and clicks and enjoy the format.
Noobie. Vinyl reissues. Am I expecting too much?
I'm a thrift shop/garage sale/flea market bottom feeder. Recently got involved with older then new reissues. First 45 album turned out to have manufacturing defects do returned it (MFSL Barber). Traded it for an ORG Diana Krall album (33) and a Cannonball Adderly 45 from AP.
The Diana Krall album has crackles on one side so I think it's going back too. The AP was great - after I cleaned it (quite oily fingerprint covered). I have had a number of OJC albums that are trouble free.
I guess my question is this - as I move up the food chain, should I expect audio improvement combined with manufacturing/packing issues? Am I expecting too much or just bad luck?
