THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE PICTURE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. UNMARKED DEEP COLOUR, NO DISCOLOURING AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THERE IS JUST ONE VISIBLE SPIDER LINE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING HALO I CAN SEE SOME VERY LEIGHT HERRINGBONE AND SOME DULL EMBEDDED FLECKING ON SIDE ONE. THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY NO IMPACT ON THE SOUND WHATSOEVER. SIDE TWO LOOKS PERFECT
THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST SUBLIME, WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CRISPLY AND CLEARLY.
THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND MEANING THAT ANY PLAY THIS HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS.
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS ANYWHERE
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT / NEAR SILENT LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE LINKING GROOVES BUT NEVER IN ANY TRACKS
NO TICS OR POPS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS AUDIO MINT
