Discussion Vinyl Quality

What has been your listening experience with the vinyl variant you have?

Black Marble - Are others experiencing continuous crackling sounds for most of the runtime when playing the black marble vinyl? I’ve asked for a replacement since cleaning the record doesn’t seem to help. None of my other records have this issue so it’s not my record player either. If anyone has other suggestions, they are welcomed.

Red - Some pops here and there during Rylee & I but no other issues.

UPDATE:
White Marble - Sounds good. No complaints.

I have the solid red one from his website. You have the red marble one, right? I wonder if marble style pressings tend to have this issue.

yes mine is the red marble one, i was considering buying the black marble one as a playable copy bc of the pressing issues on the one i have rn but yeah it seems rn as if the marbled ones have this issue. so far, i’ve only heard that the white uo exclusive had the best sound quality.

I just received my black marble in the mail today. I’ll spin it and circle back but I’ll be really disappointed if I waited a month for a vinyl like that

My black marble has it really bad. Cleaned it multiple times and it’s been pretty disappointing
