RECORD GRADING

-I SELL 2nd HAND RECORDS ONLY

-PRO-CLEANING/WASHING OF VINYLS: I DO NOT OWN A PROFESSIONAL RECORD CLEANING/WASHING MACHINE, FOR THIS I HAVE TO GO TO A HIGH-END STUDIO IN A NEAR CITY...THIS IS TIME-WASTING & EXPENSIVE! IF NOT OTHERWISE MENTIONED IN DESCRIPTION, THE RECORD IS NOT WASHED. I ALWAYS HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO PRO-CLEAN PURCHASED RECORDS! IN MOST CASES THIS WILL IMPROVE AUDIO-QUALITY (sometimes significantly!)

-PLAY-GRADING: I USUALLY DON`T HAVE TIME TO LISTEN TO EVERY OFFERED RECORD IN IT`S ENTIRETY. I LISTEN TO THE RUN-INS & OUTS , SPACES BETWEEN TRACKS AND SOME OTHER PASSAGES TO ESTIMATE OVERALL AUDIO QUALITY. ANY VISIBLE FAULTS, OF COURSE, WILL BE TEST-PLAYED AND REPORTED. IF A RECORD WAS ENTIRELY TEST-PLAYED THIS WILL BE STATED. IF NOT OTHERWISE MENTIONED, RECORDS ARE TEST-PLAYED ON A TECHNICS SL 1210 MK2 WITH ORTOFON ARKIV PICK UP.

 PLEASE ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THE POSSIBILITY OF DIFFERENT AUDIO-RESULTS WHEN PLAYED ON DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT

 USUALLY but not necessarily MINOR QUALITY EQUIPMENT WILL DELIVER slightly WORSE RESULTS, WHILE YOU MAY EXPECT (sometimes much) BETTER RESULTS ON TOP-NOTCH HIGH-END SYSTEMS
