Visual Grade: EXCELLENT!
In good natural light the record exhibits a glossy and clean appearance with only light signs of use and under strong focused halogen spotlight, only a few short light hairlines can be seen. EXCELLENT.
Audio Grade: EXCELLENT PLUS!
This is a fantastics player from the moment the needle lowers onto the disc! Quiet lead-ins - always a good barometer for the play condition of a record - with no hiss or fuzz, no loud pops and no crackle, straight in to that famous countdown. The playback continues in the same vein throughout with no issues to distract from the listening experience. Just you and the music. Of course there are absolutely no skips or sticks with this grade. A superb listening experience and centre-piece to any collection. Fantastic. EXCELLENT PLUS!
Sleeve: EXCELLENT-!
