Frustrated with Vinly

"Those overpriced reissues made for the sect of audiophile elitist is not what normal music lover really need, there are tons of original pressings around and people who trying to tell they are not as good as the audiophile pressing are just .... "

I agree. Most of the time, the original pressings are the way to go. More air and decay than heavily EQ’d reissues. However, for example, many of the original blue notes are very expensive and the tone poets are very good, well pressed and very listenable. There are other labels which are at least as good as Tone Poets. I am just talking about Jazz records. There are others reissues such as original jazz classics that are extremely good for a very good price.

Even Blue Notes from the early seventies are very good.

I think you should give up on "vinly" and try "vinyl".  It sounds a lot better.  (Sorry, could not resist.)

Darn it Lewm.
I had managed to resist that from post #1 ..... LMAO.

As far as reissues vs original pressing is concerned it is a crap shoot. Can go either way. 
As far as gunk in the groove of new records is concerned, there isn't any. Nada, nothing. I once played 15 new records in a row under a dust cover using a conductive sweep arm. At the end there was nothing on the stylus under a microscope. Nothing, not even any dust (all on the sweep arm.) 
Yes, you can digitize your record collection. Get Channel D's Pure Vinyl and you can download it to the computer in real time at 192/24. You don't need a reel to reel machine. I have pure Vinyl and have down loaded several records and they do sound fine but I decided not to do it. There is something traditional about playing a record that I like. I have records that have been played many times without any audible wear so I do not feel the need to download them to save the collection. Channel D makes phono amps that have no compensation in them. The RIAA correction is done by the computer. So Pure Vinyl actually plays the record. I have not tried this yet and do not know if I ever will. Some people think it is an improvement. Analog junkies do not like digitizing their music. 
Good rice paper record sleeves that will not hold static are a must but they have to be well made and heavy or they just fold up when you try to put them back in the cover.

There's a audio store in Pasadena, CA, Audio Element, which has record cleaners available to customers. You just need to buy some record cleaning solution to utilize their cleaners as much as you want.
I think I will take a couple of my records that I seem to be having some issues with, clean it there and then also play it there and see how they sound.
They have a bunch of turntables you can check out and play on, so I will probably do a before and after and see how the results are.
Since I do not have a higher end record cleaner and don't know anyone personally who is into this hobby, this will have to be the way to test out the records.

If I like the results, then I might invest in a cleaner.
Thing is, at the moment, I have probably have about 50 or less records.
I also won't be able to buy or keep hundreds of them simply because I do not have the room, so I will need to be very selective of what I want on the LP format.
I hope I can get out there on one of the coming weekends.

Thanks
