GRADING LEGEND - MEDIA
MINT:
Record sealed and in perfect condition.
MINT MINUS:
Seems unplayed and is almost flawless.
VERY GOOD PLUS:
Shiny and clean. May have a hairline or mark that does not affect play, and could have a stray, random click.
VERY GOOD:
Use evident but well cared for. Low surface noise. May start off with a crackle which lessens significantly after a few turns.
GOOD:
Use evident with hairlines and scuffing. Moderate surface noise with occasional clicks and pops.
ACCEPTABLE:
Heavy hairlines and scuffing, as well as some scratches, but no skips. Pervasive surface noise.
GRADING LEGEND - SLEEVE
MINT:
May be unsealed, but is definitely flawless.
MINT-MINUS:
You really have to look, but there s a spot or nick somewhere.
VERY GOOD PLUS:
Overall nice and clean, but there s a nick, bend or bruise that is not too evident.
VERY GOOD:
Used but well cared for. May exhibit light ringwear, bend marks, edge scuffing and/or sticker bruises, but discreetly.
GOOD:
Obviously used. Will show ringwear, bendmarks, edge scuffing, cellotaping and/or sticker bruises, but no rips, splits or tears, and is not too distressing to the eye.
ACCEPTABLE:
Same as ACCEPTABLE, but may have small rips, splits or tears. Sleeve is intact but not pretty.
GENERIC:
All sleeves marked as Generic pertain to company sleeves, not picture sleeves relevant mostly for 45s .
GRADING METHOD
- Records are first assessed visually. Obviously scratched or otherwise poor records are discarded.
- Records are then triple washed ultrasonically, after which they are re-examined visually.
- Obviously flawless records are double checked for excellent sound and graded as such.
- Records showing hairlines, specks, scuffing, fogginess or other manifestations, no matter how minute, are examined thoroughly on our Technics SL-150 MKII, fitted with an SME 3009 Series III tonearm and Denon DL-103 MC cartridge. Results of this examination are conveyed unabashedly if they fall beyond our standard grading legend.
