THE VINYL

THE HEAVYWEIGHT DISC HAS RETAINED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL SHEEN. IN DAYLIGHT THERE IS NOT A MARK ON IT,AND IT LOOKS FLAWLESS.

UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE A FEW VERY TINY WISPY SURFACE HAIRLINES  

THE TEST PLAY

THIS MONO ALBUM PLAYS TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT THING TO TALK ABOUT IS THE COMPLETE CLARITY OF THE  REPRODUCTION. THERE IS NOT ONE JOT OF DISTORTION ANYWHERE, AND THE SOUND IS AS CLEAR AND PRECISE

GENTLY LOWERING THE STYLUS ONTO THE RUN IN GROOVE ALL YOU HEAR IS SILENCE. NO CRACKLES ANYWHERE, AND THIS INCREDIBLE STANDARD IS MAINTAINED ALL THROUGH BOTH SIDES.

THE RUN IN IS SILENT, THE LINKING GROOVES ARE SILENT, AND THE RUN OUT IS SILENT

NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER AT ANY POINT. 

A DEEP RICH AND POWERFUL MONO SOUND THROUGHOUT UNINTERRUPTED BY ANY UNWANTED NOISES

I DON'T BELIEVE I EVEN HEARD ANY DUST POPS THOUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH, JUST A COUPLE OF BARELY AUDIBLE STATIC TICS AND A COUPLE OF MINUSCULE SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN A SILENT PASSAGE OR TWO

IF YOU WANT A REALLY STUNNING COPY OF PLEASE PLEASE ME BUY, THEN YOU SHOULD TAKE A GOOD LONG LISTEN TO THIS COPY

I JUST HAVE TO GRADE THIS INCREDIBLE AUDIO  MINT MINUS
