Wish I hand an answer for you but I don't. It's not a _universal_ problem
with all the labels, though: for example, the stuff on Axis is always
immaculately mastered and pressed. On the other hand (sorry, Richie &
Matt) I've had particular problems with a lot of Intellinet stuff. My
copy of the Teste "Perceptrons" EP is unlistenable due to all the surface
crud, the first copy of Public Energy's "Slumber" I picked up was nearly
as bad, and even things as recent as the last Telepathic single (only a
few weeks ago) had major problems. Maybe you need to kick some butts. :)
[note: these aren't audiophile/weenie problems like the ones people have
been complaining about on the ambient list, these are drastic things,
like big patches of crud on the vinyl)]
