New Records noisy

It is a problem, Thomas. In my experience, new reissue vinyl from Analog Productions, Speakers Corner, Cisco, and a few other continues to be consistently "super silent". OTOH, Classic Records has had quality control problems consistently since moving to their new 200gr formulation. Some of their 200gr issues have been dead silent here, some have not, and many others have reported disappointing results. For example my new 4-sided 45 r.p.m. copy of Dave Brubeck's "Time Out" from Classic is noisy on side 1, then dead silent on sides 3-4. Overall, I like the sound of the 200gr issues, but I don't like the variability.

I have a few Super Analogue Disc Japanese pressing re-issue's from Cisco that were noisy. I was very suprised at that..I should have sent them back, but didn't. I have found the most quiet recordings consistantly to be the Telarcs and Chesky's. The re-issue Classic Records have also been very good to me.

I know that the quality of the vinyl is critical..virgin vinyl being the best with at least 180g or more...but I suppose its an issue of QC as with any recording process.

I too am conscious of the problem yet, not completely clear to the cause. Vinyl formulae appears to be part of the culprit. Classic Records spotty issuing frustrates me to no end. There are reasons I'm sure, There is no excuse! Speakers Corner and Analogue Productions as Rushton commented are superb. There are also a large group of smaller record companies who seem to have it right, take the release of Richard Thompson -The old kit Bag on Diverse records is spooky cool or the new Spoon release -Gimme Fiction on Merge records or Ry Cooder Manuel Galban's - Mombo Sinuendo on Nonsuch are outstanding pressings, just to name a few. Given the caliber of these performances it's a blessing that someone didn't screw up the vinyl pressing. It's too bad to say but there are many beautiful performances plagued by a vinyl pressing science that should all but be academic at this point IMHO. Happy listening!
