I saw Larry (@astrotoy) mentioned Analogphonic in Ron's 35mm Mercury LP thread.

I'd like to hear the experience of others with this label, particularly on classical music reissues.

They do pick titles I like. I purchased several and am rather disappointed. My experience is the quality of their vinyl is sketchy at best. For exampe, I tried 4 copies of the Bernstein Mahler 2nd (DG) on Analogphonic and each one had more ticks and pops (on all four sides) than I could tolerate. The sonics otherwise were fine. This was on brand new records. Cleaning them in my ultrasonic machine made scant difference. Have you had better luck?

I wrote the one e-mail address I could find for them. I heard back about 2 months later and the response was basically: "so sad, too bad." I'm thinking the records are made in S.Korea though I've lost the research on them that gave me that impression. Do you know anything about the company?

My fear is other potential reissuers will be dissuaded from tackling an album when they see another maker has covered it recently, regardless of how that turned out. Good clean Mahler symphonies on LP are not exactly falling out of trees. TIA.
