I just cleaned this album on my VPI 16.5 record cleaner and then played it on my He-Man Rig which consists of a Rega Planar Three with an Ortofon X5-MC cartridge on an RB-300 tone arm with a Valee PA-12B phono preamp / preamp feeding two ArtSound 805 monoblocks.
This pressing has very light surface noise. An8- 8.5 out of 10.
IF YOU FEAR DAMAGE OR LOSS OF PARCEL IN TRANSIT, PLEASE INSURE THEM! OUR SHIPPING RESPONSIBILITY ENDS WHEN THE PARCEL IS ACCEPTED AND SCANNED BY THE US POSTAL SERVICE. ETSY IS CLEAR ON THIS. SOMETIMES THERE ARE INITIAL SCANNING DELAYS. WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME INFORMATION YOU DO AND IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DEAL WITH THE USPS SHOULD THERE BE DELAYS OR LOSS OF A SCANNED PACKAGE. PLEASE BE PATIENT FOR THE FIRST DAY OR TWO IF THE PACKAGE IS STILL MARKED AS "PRE-TRANSIT." WE SHIP THE DAY AFTER THE SALE IF THE SALE WAS AFTER 9:30 AM EASTERN TIME.
THIS IS NOT AMAZON. THERE WILL BE NO REPLACEMENTS FOR LOST PACKAGES. IN PRACTICE THIS MEANS YOU TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LOSS IF THE PACKAGE IS MARKED AS "IN TRANSIT" OR AS "DELIVERED." MAIL GETS MISPLACED, STOLEN AND LOST. SOME COUNTRIES DO NOT HAVE INTERNAL TRACKING. CHINA IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE. IF YOUR COUNTRY IS SIMILAR, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILTY TO INTERACT WITH YOUR CUSTOMS AND POSTAL AUTHORITIES TO FIND THE PACKAGE. CUSTOMS DELAYS CAN ADD WEEKS TO DELIVERIES.
