Default Serious vinyl quality control problem?

Its not always the tape though. You can on one particular LP my mother had
by Frank Sinatra, hear the tape hiss come in just before the start of the
sound, but one turn prior to that, you can hear the sound as well. Its far
too much of a coincidence it would be one turn as well.
I cannot play these games any more unfortunately.
I have to use a Technics sl5 with an Ortofon Cart these days. Its showing
signs of the dreaded sticky lubricant as well. Needs its arm serviced.

The worst I've encountered is the very audible signal from the adjacent
turn so to speak.
I wonder what your sample had been played on though.


What you're describing has nothing to do with vinyl; you're talking about
"print-through", which is an artifact of the tape mastering machine
feeding the cutter, where you can hear signals from adjacent lengths of
tape.

Personally, I like Vista, but I probably won't use it. I like it
because it generates considerable business for me in consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".
