Mobile Fidelity claimed their records sounded better the more they were played with the Japanese vinyl they used. I never noticed any degradation in almost 40 years. I take care of my records though, and store them perfectly vertically. No liquid cleaners, just a dust brush, and 95+% of my records were purchased new.

sokogear Mobile Fidelity claimed their records sounded better the more they were played >>>>>I cannot imagine why that would be. |
Not sure, maybe they are broken in after time? I can't say I think they sound better, but they sound the same to me. I have bought a few used ones and they don't sound as good as the ones I originally bought. I think most people in general do not take very good care of their records. I use MFSL sleeves and several years ago started using jacket sleeves (not nearly as important) and a month or so ago got box sleeves for my UHQRs and a Kind of Blue box set. (Even less important since they already have the box, inner spongy packaging sheets, inner jackets, and record protectors). Outer boxes were getting worn. |
