THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS PERFECT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD CLEARLY AND CLEANLY AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED
NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION AT ANY POINT MEANING THERE IS NO GROOVE WEAR

NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF SPLIT SECONDS OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC ON ONE OR TWO OCCASIONS
THERE IS A LITTLE LOW LEVEL BACKGROUND IN THE FINAL MINUTE OF TRACK ONE, SIDE TWO
I DIDN'T HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST ONE OR TWO TINY STATIC TICS
