THE TEST PLAY
THE LP PLAYS THROUGH MAGNIFICENTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CRISP AND CLEAN THE DISC SOUNDS.
THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS JUST MAGNIFICENT WITH EVERY NOTE BEING HEARD HOW IT WAS INTENDED. THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUNDWHATSOEVER
NO BACKGROUND CRACKLES AND POPS, JUST A PURE CLEAN SOUND.
NOT ONE JOT OF STATIC OR VINYL NOISE, AND I AM DELIGHTED TO SAY THAT THE VINYL PERFORMS TO THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE
I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR ANY DUST POPS THROUGH THE ENTIRE PLAYTHROUGH
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS PLAYTHROUGH MINT
