More than 40 years of LP collecting leads to these sales.  The collection is being downsized – prior to moving yet again.  Within the next few months, hundreds of LPs will be listed.

 

Are you tired of having a record desribed as "shiny" or "can't feel the marks" only to have it play G or worse?  That's why I play grade these.  The grades are as follows (modified Goldmine standards [mine are more rigorous]):

 

NM - almost nothing plays this level - even sealed records!

 

M- - a few ticks or pops per side.  Quiet background and vinyl.  This rarely happens.

 

VG+ - More than a few ticks or pops per side.  Quiet background and vinyl.  The noise only rarely makes itself known and, for the most part, doesn't interfere with the music.  This is about as good as it gets for pre-1965 US vinyl.

 

VG -The background is no longer quiet.  However, for the most part, the music overpowers the noise.

 

VG- - The noise is sometimes intrusive.

 

G+ - The noise is often intrusive, but the music is usually enjoyable.

 

G - Only sometimes is the music enjoyable.

F (Fair) - Noisy.

 

P (poor) - Your stylus is at risk!!!

 

All of the open records have been cleaned using VPI fluid on a VPI 17 cleaner, rinsed with triple distilled water then placed in new poly (HDPE) liners.  The covers have been placed in new outer sleeves.  Ratings were made using a Basis Debut Gold II (non-vacuum) with a Living Voice Mystic carbon fiber mat and a Sota reflex clamp, a Graham 2.2, and a Lyra Parnassus cartridge through an Audio Advancements (German, dual mono tube) preamp and a Symphonic Line amp driving Avalon Radians.  Though I try to be accurate and consistent, your perception may differ.  Before each side was played the stylus was Zero dusted and Stylast treated, the record was brushed clean and Zerostated.

 

The cover condition is listed.  Anything rating below VG+ (typically dinged corners drop it from M-)  has explanatory notes - splits, wear, stains, etc.   The pictures may help. The LPs will be removed and shipped outside the jackets to prevent (further) ring wear.
