The sound quality is excellent !
NO skips ; NO distortion ; Few clicks here and there (especially audible on Track 1 of Side B) ; Constant background noise and cracklings but the music is really clear and enjoyable ; The audio recording is really good and the listening should be improved with a mono cartridge.
