Which new Reissues are free of pops, ticks etc?

Hi,
frustrated greetings to all my audiophile friends. I have got so many records the last 15 months, which are made from inferior Vinyl (specially Classic Records, here it is frustrating because their first 180gr Batch is extremely good quality) or probably something else happened with them.

How about a new Thread where a List can be made, which one of the latest reissues is absolutely noise free (you know, that kind of quality we all have from the 70's,80's and 90's, before the Money-Maker-Reissue-Hype rolled over us).

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.

since moving from an excessivly noisy Lp12/Ekos/lingo set up with a Linn Klyde cartridge to a VPI SSM Lyra dorian ALL my records are free of surface noice.
bizzare but happy :)

Maybe there is no guarantee absolute of a flawless record.There is always debris left over from the manufacturing process and I blame my mishaps mostly on my own failure to clean new records before I played them.There is also the anomoly of the 180-200 gram pressing.I don't think vinyl was supposed to be produced this way.I consistently hear 70's reissues that beat the "new audiophile" pressings.Decca engineers knew in the 60's that pressing vinyl over 160 grams causes problems.
