I give up on new vinyl

Never disappointed. Japan simply makes vinyl to a much higher standard. The pressing and the quality of the vinyl and often the master are to the highest standards.

It's all over the map.  In recent experience, the Fagen Cheap Xmas box is flawless, and I find no fault in the Pink Floyd reissues.

I'm disappointed with around 60% of new LP purchases. 

Arte you guys wet cleaning your new vinyl with a vacuum RCM?
Agreed, some new pressings are a bit noisy but overall I do not have a lot of issues...

The zep’s are not “audiophile “. Classic released some 10 years ago or so. They are good too. But there is nothing wrong with the nether Page remasters whatsoever! I have the first 6 Deluxe sets through Physical Graffiti as well as all the CDs and not a single issue. And no, generally vinyl is final sale as the record companies rarely accept returns from the dealers. Unless it’s legitimately 
 damaged, pops and clicks don’t qualify. Scratches may but it’s hard to prove they came that way. It’s not try to buy. Sorry.
