From what I was let do believe in the old days, the main issues with vinyl, besides the recording process, is the manufacturing process. Typically, the cheaper vinyl is thinner and, most importantly, is stamped quickly and not let to set before removing from the stamping machine. Evidently, stamping is a variable process that results in quality differences.
We found that the direct-to-disc recordings of Lincoln Mayorga were the best vinyl we every heard. Today, I see on the internets that The Berliner Direct To Disc Recordings are being sold. I would suggest these and these http://www.elusivedisc.com/Direct-To-Disk/products/2297/
for those who are disappointed by their current purchases.
I have no idea if these are as good as the Mayorga albums, but they stand a much better chance of sounding accurate than others you may have purchased. Try them and post and let us see what you think.
Cheers!
