I play my records on a vintage Marantz 6170 turntable using an Ortofon Blue cartridge through a Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 all into my Marantz 2270 and back out to my Klipsch KLF 30 speakers I only tell you this so you are aware that you may hear some slight surface noise. However, you may not on your system.
I try to grade my records fairly and tend to grade them a bit below what they actually are.
I ship my LP records in LP shipping boxes to assure they arrive to you as listed. Yes, it costs a little more, but I want you to be happy.
