I know what it's like to be disappointed by over-optimistically graded records. This is a realistic grading based on a very careful visual examination and listening on an unforgiving Transcriptor Hydraulic Reference deck on good quality headphones and through the speakers. I was surprised at how full and natural this sounded.
