New Releases For Sale/Distro Updates / Mayfair Set 12" (Captured Tracks) Defect?
« on: August 23, 2009, 11:28:51 AM »
So I got 12 copies of the Mayfair Set 12" from Captured Tracks to sell in my shop. I dig. First tune on the B-side really slays.
When I played my copy, the needle jumped around in the last 10-20 seconds of the last cut on the A side. Upon inspection it looks like a couple of the grooves have a little extra room around em at that point. So, I set my counter-weight (on the turntable arm) at its maximum and the needle tracked through the noted patch, but the tone arm visibly wiggled around on two or three rotations.
I tested 4 of the 12 copies I got and all of them had the same play results. Anyone else having this problem?
I'm cool with my personal copy - but some of my customers might put up a fuss.
