Which new Reissues are free of pops, ticks etc?

Hi Albert, no I was not the one at Ebay. Well, I don't think, it has something to do with my Cartridges or Set up. I tried those records with everything I have (Transfiguration, Zyx, Lyra, Miyabi etc.) and every Tonarm, the Result was always close. Some Needle Designs are more sensitive to that than others, but in general it was always the same result.
When I switch to an older Record, nothing special but made in the 80's for example, everything is great.

Probably I have bad luck with my Package, I order nearly everything from Acoustic Sounds, but I can't imagine, that they buy different pressings than others....

Thomas. I just called Classic Records and they did have some vinyl runs where surface noise was an issue.

My LP's, with no noise, were the Blue Note reissues. Classic said those runs were OK and had to do with the fact they are Mono's.

Others, including some of the Stereo Jazz titles and the new Diana Krall had problems that are being addressed.

Considering these findings, you should ask Acoustic Sounds to replace your noisy copies.

The good news, there is a new quality control guy looking over things at the pressing plant these days, including the plating and reformulation of vinyl to comply with EPA. Seems both have played a role in the noise but they are getting their land legs back.

Thomas,

I looked at the closed Ebay auction again. It was Detlof that beat me out of that tape :^). You guys have an advantage right now with the dollar so low against the Euro currencies.

I can't say I blame you, buying great Jazz titles at a good value.

I have had no problems whatever with any of the reissues from Cisco (out of perhaps 10 purchases). By the way, their version of Britten's 'Young People's Guide to the Orchestra' is, in my opinion, an absolute must have.

Thomas, I said Pressing NOT Mastering. Different pressings can yield different results based on the presses useed, where your record is in the pressing order (first or last to be pressed) batches of vinyl at the pressing facility, etc.
