As of October 4, the latest sale led to this feedback:
Superb!!!! Aja is mint, and sounds awesome. Excellent excellent.
check out the feedback on the scratch/dent sale LPs.
Here are Highly Recommended Cisco Records from a “Scratch and Dent” sale. They are Out of Print (OOP) and are NOT mint. There are very few new copies left at $60. DO NOT buy if you want a mint or near mint LP. Do buy if you want a great sounding LP of a classic album with only a problem or three and don’t need an abolutely mint cover.
It is the best remastering of this album. It sounds incredible.
These suffer from the "white line" problem where the color from the glue from the liner bled through to the LP. See the pictures for the effects of this on the LP. Playing these yields a M to M- play! The white line has no effect on the sound. However, these cannot be sold as Mint.
They will be shipped with the LP outside of the cover via USPS media mail with tracking. Having listened to many of these, returns will be accepted for full price purchases if your play grading of the LP you receive isn't at least a VG+.
Email for the exact condition of the LP that you will buy. I will play grade it using the scale below and let you know its condition.
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!!!
Ratings were made using a Basis Debut Gold II (non-vacuum) with a Living Voice Mystic carbon fiber mat and a Basis clamp, a Graham 2.2, and a Lyra Parnassus cartridge through an Audio Advancements (German, Brocksieper, dual mono tube) preamp and Symphonic Line amps 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.
