The cartridge only picks up in the naked groove as it was when new … nothing else, no dried particles from the air … This gives a deeper bolder crisper sound in every record cleaned ..
We were astonished by the result and began re-cleaning all of our favorites .. This took months …
What we love about this new cleaning system is we get to hear quiet intros and endings .. because it's so silent ..
SPINDLE GRADING
COVER GRADING
NM: Exactly as it came off the shelf, except the package has been opened. Wrapping may or may not be on. If sealed, then either there is a cut out or some minor imperfection. (has been meticulously cared)
NM-: Still in the NM grade but may have slight ring wear or other small imperfection. Still portrays a New look and feel, and well taken care of cover.
EX: New-looking, but has a minor ding or two, light fading or ring wear, or some other cosmetic flaw. Could be sealed and not handled well.
VG+: Displays some obvious wear; dulled corners, creases, partial seam splits, and not new looking. Most covers will be in this grade.
VG: Serves its purpose, but has "major" flaws such as seam splits and/or heavily faded. Such a purchase is usually for a vinyl upgrade.
VG-: Used as an example of how not to treat an album cover. Also, filling for a ship order.
Flaws on the covers, such as writing, cut-out marks, seam splits, etc., WILL BE NOTED
RECORD CARE AND STORAGE
Since I am a vinyl enthusiast, the albums are handled and stored with great care.
All the records have been stored in a climate-controlled environment free of smoke and moisture, and professionally handled.
Most of the Japanese pressings were purchased from Japan
over the last 12 years. US Buyers have a unique advantage of not having to pay
the exorbitant costs for shipping from Japan. I am aware of most of the sellers’
grading systems in Japan and what it means. For example, one seller will grade
EX and mean it’s Near Mint, while another will mean it to be only VG+; quite a
difference.
ABOUT WEAR OF VINYL RECORDS
Scratches
that can penetrate the record’s groove is not the only problem when
testing for quality. The needle or cartridge used can be a major culprit
to hiss, pops, and clicks. Thus many records have deteriorating
factors, without any visual scratches at all, especially the records
used in the 60’s and 70’s. Audiophile technology had not yet been
advanced with the invent of the lightweight cartridge. In
those days, pennies, nickels or even quarters were placed on top of the
needle to make it play more efficient. This added weight wore down the
grooves, and created a hissing and crackling sound. Also, when the needle is placed at the beginning many times, sometimes it skips before the music plays and even when it begins. Also, where there is a major hit song, people tend to play that track a lot and put the needle down at it's beginning causing crackles in between tracks and even could play with a few clicks at the start ....
