Description
As of Feb. 2013, the two that are left DO NOT have the Classic Quiex II sticker on the outer covering. You have waited too long to buy the best of these.
The worst of these (F) led to the following feedback:
record much better than described, mint, perfect, thanks A +++++
All of the others are better. Make those offers. Free media shipping in the US!
Original Ad:
Here are Classic Records from a “Scratch and Dent” sale. They are all Out of Print (OOP) and are NOT mint. Presume that the scratches shown are from the better examples. DO NOT buy if you want a mint, near mint, VG+, or even VG LP and cover. Do buy if you want great sounding LPs except for a problem or three and don’t need a mint cover.
All records have been cleaned on a VPI 17 with VPI fluid and then rinsed with distilled water. The warped LPs have been run through a Furutech clone LP flattener. They have been placed in new poly inner sleeves and will be shipped with the LP outside of the cover via USPS media mail with tracking. They are sold AS IS. There are no returns.Email for the exact condition of the LP that you will buy. I will play grade it using the scale below and let you know its condition. Should you not follow this process, please presume that the LP that you are buying is warped beyond belief, is scratched, gouged, pitted, etc. and that the cover is completely split, bent, dinged or worse. If someone walked over the LP with their old-style golf shoes it will be better than what you receive. I don’t want the negative feedback. These are sold AS IS.
The play grades are (each letter is a different LP):
B - scuffed on both sides; side 1 is VG+ until the very end, then there are a few ticks, side 2 is more noisy, VG; VG+ cover with a 1" beginning top split
D - side 1: a bit of vinyl noise, VG (+); side 2 is more noisy, VG cover with a corner ding and beginning top split
H - side 1: not too noisy, VG, side 2: noisy background, VG-, VG cover with 1" beginning top split, no sticker
The grades are as follows (modified Goldmine standards [mine are more rigorous]):
NM - almost nothing plays this level - even sealed records!
M- - a few ticks or pops per side. Quiet background and vinyl. This rarely happens.
VG+ - More than a few ticks or pops per side. Quiet background and vinyl. The noise only rarely makes itself known and, for the most part, doesn't interfere with the music. This is about as good as it gets for pre-1965 US vinyl.
VG -The background is no longer quiet. However, for the most part, the music overpowers the noise.
VG- - The noise is sometimes intrusive.
G+ - The noise is often intrusive, but the music is usually enjoyable.
G - Only sometimes is the music enjoyable.
F (Fair) - Noisy.
P (poor) - Your stylus is at risk!!!
Ratings were made using a Basis Debut Gold II (non-vacuum) with a Living Voice Mystic carbon fiber mat and a Sota reflex clamp, a Graham 2.2, and a Lyra Parnassus cartridge through an Audio Advancements (German, Brocksieper, dual mono tube) preamp and a Symphonic Line amp driving Avalon Radians. Though I try to be accurate and consistent, your perception may differ. Before each side was played the stylus was Zero dusted and Stylast treated, the record was brushed clean and Zerostated.
