Description
This is a very nice copy of Classic Records 200g pressing of Heifetz’s recording of Brahm’s “Violin Concerto” with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Fritz Reiner on four single-sided 200 g. 45 RPM records. The 45 RPM set is a complete recording LSC-1903. When I first bought this new, the records were cleaned with a VPI record cleaner and treated with LAST record preservative. More recently it was recleaned with Audio Intelligent Fluids on a VPI cleaner and on an Audio Desk ultra sonic record cleaner. It has also been demagnetized with a Furutech DeMag. Sides A1, A2, and B2 play mostly very quietly throughout with only a few light ticks here and there. Side B1 has a ¾” light scratch where I accidentally scratched it with my fingernail while cleaning it, however the side plays very quietly with only a few light ticks over the side. The scratch does not appear to have affected the sound at all. I have only played the records a few times on various VPI tables I have owned (HW-19 MKIV, TNT 3.5, and Classic 4) using either Lyra or Benz Mico Ruby cartridges. The sound is naturally open and detailed. The covers are the original heavy jackets that Classic used for their 200g issues. There are no seam splits. Only side A of each LP is pressed. Side B is blank. For this set, only the first record has the regular 200g jacket while the other three 45 records are in a plain white jacket with a sticker as was originally issued by Classic Records. Multiple records can be combined in an order to save shipping costs.
