BEFORE YOU READ THE VINYL'S DESCRIPTION, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU AN INFO REGARDING JAPANESE PRESSINGS:
Japanese vinyl releases are premium quality pressings, much sought after by audiophiles and collectors alike.JAPANESE RED VINYL PRESSINGS ARE PIONEERED BY TOSHIBA IN THE 1960'S. THEY USE THE TOP QUALITY TRADEMARK "EVER CLEAN" ON THE RED VINYL WHICH IN THIS PROCESS HAD UTILIZED A SPECIAL INGREDIENT INTENDED TO PREVENT THE BUILD UP  OF STATIC ELECTRICITY ON THE VINYL. THE SONIC JAPANESE PRESSINGS ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SPECIAL AND AMONG THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!
IN ADDITION,THE VINYL SHINES LIKE NO OTHER VINYL!!!   
They are beautifully presented, their covers usually printed on better quality heavy stock paper.
ADDED INFO:  When US audiophile label Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab first released their series of high quality
pressings the records were manufactured in Japan.

System Requirements

We have each system requirements, and each type.

I have over 25 years of audio systems settings
and this is my personal choice according to my experience.

1 TONE ARM: JAPANESE "MICRO" SHORT TYPE ARM. used over 25 years. or SME
  (1).RCA Cable: MOGAMI-2803 wire cable
            ----Absolut Pure, Beinzigen Cinchkabelreferenz(from the "stereoplay" May 17,1994 issue)
2.Stylus weight:SHURE V15typeIII(stylus weight:well checking-1.4grams,but personal my favorite-1.2grams)
  This is my personal favorite and this is what I always use for 25 years already.
3.Earthquake-proof strength (Measures for vibration and shake):
  (1).The buffer material was paved on the floor. The concrete/hollow blocks were piled on.  -this is the TURNTABLE's base.
  (2). I do not use its own TURNTABLE's Insulator.I use porcelain.place direct upon hollow/block base.
  (3).Place the special sheet on the turntable as buffer material.Best match to the TURNTABLE's base.I never use RUBBER.
         (it is my surprise that I have discovered this special material sheet which the vinyl will be in perfect flat and hold while on play )
  (4)  System's check will be confirmed on this procedure:
          i)Place the stylus on the vinyl,(not on play)
         ii)Try to knock on any area of the TURNTABLE's base to check the stylus and system ability
          Gradually accelerate the volume of the amplifier during the knocking. It is best preferred to use a headphone.
        iii)Volume should move up slowly from AM 7:00 to AM 12:00 (My systems Go up to PM2 or 3)
        iv)If Systems settings is okay then carefully knock on turntable various materials like wood,iron,rubber or plastic
and even fingers. These materials has each with different sounds.If systems requirements is not okay then the sounds
will not be hearable or loud sounds or feedback will be heard.I suggest that volume would be up to AM12:00 only, for the
reason that speakers may break out.
   (5).This is my personal system check procedure.
4.The horizontal and vertical balance:
  Stylus horizontal balance , as same as CARTRIDGE,SHELL,TONEARM,TONEARM-BASE,TURNTABLE to vertical
  Perfect Balancing is very much difficult but I have a strict compliance about this, that's why I cant say
it's perfect but I can say I tried it almost perfect.
5.Clean up the vinyl:
A. Spray with a cleaning liquid(I have my special mix),
B.Wash(using a Japanese Toothbrush-Specific manufacturer,it is Excellent,It has a thickness of 0.02 millimeter/usual 0.2 ,)
C. Wipe it off.
  The Wiping procedure is the most important for cleaning, Generally,some of the most commonly used
items fo wiping/dusting do not help that much, best would be cloth(special material for vinyl).
  Statics,Dust and scratches will increase noise production.It even can produce jump if it stayed longer and
have remained on the vinyl. Wiping method should be made lightly handed.

****Excellent and dependable sound quality is not only based if the player is with high value
but it is also based on your system requirements.
I myself owns a MAC C-28, SAE  and Accuphase amplifier but I also use Sansui amplifier.
Also I have a JBL 4343WX but I also use L26 speaker model.
But what I appreciate most is the .RCA Cable: MOGAMI-2803 wire cable I use,
the buffer material used on the TURNTABLE and the Toothbrush used for washing!!haha!!
