I have one and it does not sound bad at all.Mescal wrote:Yeah, been reading about it, and supposedly a crappy mastering.
Someone on here has one, no? Drifter?
I dug out this giant magnifying glass I have in my modeling toolbox in the garage and looked at the area where it skipped and there's this really tiny little dimple like a moon crater or road pothole that's about the width of three grooves wide. I'm sure anything I'd try to do to fix it would only make it worse. Shit like this reminds me why I stopped buying vinyl at the end of the 80's for just about all my music purchases.mockbee wrote:I know nothing about records but can you manually 'manipulate' the record, like with a knife to make the groove smoother or something, to make it not skip?
I'm sure I'm breaking some secret audiophile mastubatory rule thing but the crackling annoys me. It gets in the way of the music... I have a 12" of The Cure's High - Higher Mix single cos the b-side is Open - Fix Mix and the thing that annoyed was that whenever I chose to listen to Open - Fix Mix either on the record itself or a cassette transfer was the ever-present crackle.... Finding the CD single version of this release made me super happy.. Finally I could hear it as intended. Crackle-less....Pandemonium wrote:I dug out this giant magnifying glass I have in my modeling toolbox in the garage and looked at the area where it skipped and there's this really tiny little dimple like a moon crater or road pothole that's about the width of three grooves wide.

That would be a pressing mistake.Pandemonium wrote:I dug out this giant magnifying glass I have in my modeling toolbox in the garage and looked at the area where it skipped and there's this really tiny little dimple like a moon crater or road pothole that's about the width of three grooves wide.
