Some original mono records will get played with a mono cartridge . If you use  Stereo cartridge playing older mono's , more prominent background noise must usually be expected. I use the follwing system for graduation: VOYD The Voyd 3 motor turntable / HELIUS Omega Silver Ruby tonearm / Audio Note IOII cartridge into AN-S8 Step up transformer . Amplification is all from Audio Note: M3 phono/Conqueror and E/D Speakers.

Bid/Purchase with confidence and check out my feedback. I have sold thousands of records on and off Ebay during the last 5 years  , I am also a collector myself so I have high standards.  Most records are professionally cleaned on my VPI 17F  record cleaning machine and  all items are visually graded in strong light and will be played before listing . I try to offer the best possible service for my customers and if there is any problem with a product , contact me, and we will work it out. See my ``About Me'' page for more information.

Delivery time for items sent within Europe is usually about a week or less , but It can also take longer. For worldwide shipping normal delivery time is 7-14 days , but It can take up to 4-6 weeks on rare occasions.

Please base your seller ratings on the time it took me to ship the item after payment and not the actual shipping time as I cannot control possible postal delays .
