Super Session; Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper, and Steve Stills made one hell of a serious album in that "session".  I have an original copy and also bought a reissue from Speakers Corner.

Regarding Led Zeppelin, I have most of their albums on vinyl, all original.  I recently bought Houses of the Holy, remastered, trusting that Jimmy Page involvement would bring quality to market.  What a disappointment!  It sounded so digital and strained.  I returned it for a refund.  I put my original copy through two more rounds of Nitty Gritty vacuum cleaning and that seemed to help reduce more of the noise I was trying to get past by purchasing the reissue.  The original sounds so much more pleasing than the reissue, even still with some vinyl noise.  I really need to get a US cleaning machine and upgrade my entire cleaning process.

By the way, I am glad to take some suggestions and advice on that subject.  I am looking at purchasing the Kirmus US machine.  That system includes (but I don't think absolutely requires) that you clean your vinyl using their chemical system that removes all mold release compounds and other cleaning liquids you may have used.  If I were to use that cleaning chemical first, in the Kirmus US machine, do you guys suggest to then use a final rinse with distilled water and vacuum dry with the Nitty Gritty?  Etc... I welcome advice on a better regimen than the Nitty Gritty vacuum system I have.  I strongly believe I need to advance to a US machine but I also believe there is probably a total regimen that will do wonders.  Please let me know your thoughts.
In advance, thank you for your help.
@mammothguy54,

Doing a distilled water rinse is recommended. Air drying is better. I use my VPI for expediency buy would prefer a second VinlylStack just for this purpose.

Have you looked into DIY? It's what I use and have had experience with my Audio Desk. The DIY is a better solution and less expensive. If you add a pump and filter system it takes up more room but is a nice upgrade for little money.
Mammithguy54,

I have heard from a few people that the remasters are good. I’ll let you know if my experience is any better than yours. 

I’m guessing you are the same age as I am.

Yea! I have the original release of that album as well, purchased back in the 70’s. Really neat release by those three.
Slaw, I'm not certain how to go about a DIY.  That does mean Do It Yourself, correct?  I figured that a Kirmus US process, followed with a distilled rinse and vacuum dry or air dry, would be a good regimen.  However, that's just my own thoughts and welcome further advice and/or direction. 

Enlighten me!
Thanks man.

@unreceivedogma, I am 66 years of age.  And proud to say that most people take me for my mid-50s.  Good genes and some luck, I guess.
Maybe it's all the hiking, skiing, and fishing that I do.  Or, maybe most of them have a vision problem.  Haha... Enough of the jokes.  I went to many, many concerts during the 70s, I saw them all, including Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix.  Wonderful memories and I have collected the vinyl all along the way.  I play CD in the car, but vinyl has always been my passion for home audio high-fidelity.  I got my first real hi-fi system in 1973.  Let us know your feelings about the Led Zeppelin reissues.
