THE RECORDS
THE LABELS
THE ORANGE LABELS ARE IN MINT CONDITION. UNMARKED DEEP COLOUR, NO DISCOLOURING AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE. THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE AND CLEAR. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SPIDER LINES AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
BEAUTIFULLY GLOSSY ALBUM HAVING RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN AND LUSTRE. THERE ARE NO MARKS ON THE SURFACE, AND IN DAYLIGHT THIS LOOKS TOTALLY FLAWLESS AND EVEN WHEN PLACED UNDER A MAGNIFYING HELO THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE OTHER THAN A FEW WISPY HAIRLINES
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 WHAT LITTLE 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 LINKING GROOVES
I HEARD A COUPLE OF TINY SPECKS OF STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES
NO TICS OR POPS
I HAVE NO HESITATION IN GRADING THIS AUDIO MINT MINUS
