Do Poor Quality Modern Pressings Provide Any Value?

Are poor quality modern pressings actually providing a valued service? Is very poor quality actually providing the consumer with a good if after purchase there is buyers remorse due to pressing and vinyl mastering quality? GZ Media is directly in my sights. I love to support great artists, but find myself either regretting purchases from this plant or now entirely avoiding supporting an artist that gets pressed here. What say you.

Yes they provide a value, and that value is to put on your list of things to avoid. Enjoy the music, not bad recordings

GZ pressed the VMP Miles Davis - The Electric Years box set. These are pristine sounding recordings - read other reviews of this set; most everybody considers these to be at least as good, if not better, than the MoFi ones....

@larsman why does their quality swing in such big directions. I have vastly more GZ presses that are poor versus quality pressings. I'll take unknown plants if GZ as a general rule to be completely honest.
