New vinyl needs to be wet-vacuumed cleaned especially to remove any mold-release agents. Your record cleaning fluids should address that problem also. It does make a difference. also many times sealed records have some dust/dirt on them although audiophile labels seem to be cleaning right out of the bag.
I tend to agree, but am too lazy to clean new records. If yoy buy second hand, it is a must. cartridges are'nt cheap these cdays and will last lnger with clean records. They need'nt be that expensive, particularly second hand
