How Much Surface Noise is Too Much?


Just curious as to a range of opinions here. At what point is an LP unworthy of being played with your stylus/cartridge? Should one expect a used record store to give refunds on LPs which turn out to have more than a certain amount of surface noise/warpage and, if so, how much damage/defect should be criteria for getting one's money back? Any other thoughts along this line?

I don't know which stores you are shopping at but where I live all the stores give some type of guarantee for defective new records. Usually this involves exchanging it for another copy. I took an LP back to one store this week and swapped it for the CD as the pressing was just unlistenable. As for used vinyl, most stores will give you at least an in-store credit.

Isn't that a Jeff Foxworthy routine? Heheh.
My turntable is almost as quiet as my CD player...if occasional scratches ...pops, tick's, etc. are discounted.
