Opinions about Newvelle Records pressing quality?

Have those of you who have subscribed to Newvelle Records been satisfied with the quality of their pressings?
I ordered one of the their lp's last year when they offered the opportunity to order single pressings without a subscription and was rather underwhelmed considering the cost. While the studio's recording quality and the packaging was fine, the second side of the pressing had audible groove noise and a number of ticks and pops. Was this an unlucky anomaly?

I've been a subscriber since season 1 and find the quality to be equally as good as any other low volume high quality presser. I received one disc with a clear defect and returned that for another copy with no questions asked.

What you describe sounds like typical pressing quality -- I clean every disc I receive before listening on my KL US machine and while not as perfect as the best Japanese pressings (something like this https://www.discogs.com/Edith-Peinemann-Joseph-Keilberth-Günter-Wand-WDR-Sinfonieorchester-Köln-WDR-...) they also don't cost $150 a set ...
