Part 2. Classical records would be pressed only about 40 times, tops, before the steel record would be replaced. Jazz records, maybe 75 or 80 times. Rock records would be pressed around 100 times. Then, the bastards started pressing 500 or more vinyl records before they changed the steel ones. I had to take back 6 copies of "Madman Across the Water" before I got one that didn't skip in the same place. Thieving, money-grubbing swine record company execs can be found in Hell after they die.
I've used Garrard transcription turntables and they are flawless. I set them up to exert only 1 gram of needle pressure on the records. If you want to get crazy, you can adjust one to play upside-down. A very big problem with vinyl is that the SOBs running the record companies in the early 70s saved a miniscule amount of money by pressing HUNDREDS of copies before they changed the steel (mother? father?) record used to produce the vinyl ones. The fewer copies made, the better the sound.
@isuru221 I think there is, it all depends on the turntable, how the vinyl was pressed. Sometimes, new vinyl can sound horrible too. I wish I was an expert at some of this stuff.
@isuru221 Am not an expert at cleaning 45's, there might be a way to make it sound better. I got a ton of 45's from a jukebox vendor. Some of those are in rough shape. Tried to clean them no luck,they were just so wore out and full of smoke and dust. I love vinyl too and don't mind some snaps and pops. Some records are really hard to bring back to life again.
