Sound clips(s) are from the record for sale in this auction. Clips were recorded in mono on a Thorens and a modified Denon DL 103 (with 65 µm stylus) using RIAA equalization (not FFRR as stated on the label, I do not have an multi eq phono pre at the moment, and I also did not want to edit = manipulate soundfiles, finally, the late FFRR curve is not so far away from RIAA). NO sound editing or filters, of course...
