THE TEST PLAY
THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERBLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH BOTH SIDES, AND THE STEREO REPRODUCTION IS BOTH LOUD AND CLEAR AS A BELL WITH EVERY NOTE HEARD AS WAS INTENDED.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND WHATSOEVER, MEANING THAT THE LITTLE PLAY THAT THIS LP HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THERE IS NO BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND NO LOUD CLICKS AT ALL ANYWHERE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES
