Oh no, there's metal in your records!
invictus005 OP, that guy sounds like a complete fraud. Stay away! $240 yearly subscription to find you records.Fraud is a serious charge. If he's providing the records, it doesn't seem fraudulent. Is it a good value? That's subjective. |
I’m guessing the fee helps cover the cost of acquiring multiple copies you can buy. Getting others to buy your high quality records for you ain’t cheap. No clue what the metal in the record deal is so that would have no value in my eyes. Various other well known things factor into whether a record is good quality or not and also how much they are worth. I’d read up on and focus more on those not some secret sauce. Static electricity with records is a real thing. A swipe with a good quality carbon fiber brush takes care of that when needed. Some humidity in the air if possible helps keep static electricity and related possible pops and clicks down. |
I think the guy was referring to the carbon black as mentioned by @whart . I am not convinced it would have any effect on the cartridge, nor on the guy's ability to sell subscriptions, so I'm not sure why he brought it up. He was trying to push albums on clear vinyl, and they probably were some Clarity Vinyl records, I bet. However, reading around about the Clarity releases, it seems to be hit-or-miss on the quality of the pressings. Seems to me that would affect the playback much more than any quantity of carbon in the vinyl attracting the cart's magnet. |
