Please note that this lathe cut record was made one-at-a-time, in real-time, by a real person, from plexiglass using an experimental process and 70 year old machines. It is not a pressed record and may have slightly more surface noise or an occasional light distortion in some frequencies. The volume will also be a little lower than a modern "post-loudness-war" record, so pump up the volume. It won't be audiophile, but it ought to sound pretty good considering the circumstances of its' birth. It might also require tonearm adjustment (light weight and neutral anti-skate) in order to track correctly due to the hard plastic having slight shallower grooves than a traditional record. They do not always play well on some low-end turntables. If it sounds overly distorted, lift the needle and drop again, sometimes the needle gets caught on the side of the groove and a little nudge will drop it into the bottom of the groove. These records will not degrade or harm your needle or cartridge. If you have any questions, email us at Lathecuts at yahoo.com
