For grins, you might try to extract some frequency
response information from them.

The Linn Sondek in that last link has the most fearsome
wow (about 0.3% RMS) - bad enough to be a real fault, I
think.

Correct that. The predominate jitter frequency seems to
be 0.55 Hz - off-center record.

A test record shouldn't be able to go off-centre. All of
mine are drilled small, and are a very tight fit on the
spindle.

Who says that the hole was necessarily drilled or punched in the right
place?

Where else do we get 0.55 Hz FM from?


There are some bad test records to be had. I measured some files from
two high-end turntables for an ex. Brit. 'friend' of yours. Both
showed almost the same bad results... then another test record was
used and then they showed different (not too good) results. My lips
are sealed..
