new vinyl

[Floyddroid]

Just sold my vinyl collection 500+LPs mainly original A1/B1 copies, just got fed up with the whole LP/ Turntable / Tone arm / £1000 cartridge game
I didn't find new Vinyl to be any better mainly worse

Shocked to the core about that Al.

My experience has been that contemporary vinyl is much more often warped or dished than original vinyl from the 60s/70s/80s, even 90s. It must be something to do with the pressing weight.

However, I have found contemporary vinyl to be very low on surface noise as a general rule.

I generally only buy new vinyl for the pristine sleeves that lend themselves to being displayed.
