LP eccentricity, spindle hole center,The fix??????

Dear Jlin, you are right - very often the two sides do differ in their eccentricity. In that case the "alignment" has to be done for each side individual.

Dear Dertonarm: Where we can find those standards on the subject?

Now, the " perfect center hole " standard when is achieved give all of us an immediate quality improvement, it does not matters which analog system we own.

is there a " road " for the recording industry can fulfil with that standard? who is the institution that have to control that that standard be fulfil/realize by the LP manufacturers? how anyone could " force/compel " to the LP manufacturers to do it?

We are paying a lot of money for new LP's that are really bad/wrong in its overall quality.
I don't know others but I'm willing to pay an extra " fee " for that " perfect center hole " standard, no doubt about: that makes a difference for the better.

We all here are commited to improve the quality perfomance in our home systems but I can see that for many of us that is not really a priority because in more than one ocasion I bring this subject with receive almost no " eco " to make and take actions about.

I consider you a serious man on this and other subjects why don't start ( you and me ) or take some actions about, let me know IMHO we need to do it like a " group ", this is not a " fight/war " for one person.
What do you think? or you think it will be " futile " ( like you say. )

+++++ " is such a small segment of the audio/video market, that this (we...) and its (our..) needs are of no interest at all for the industry. " +++++

well, remember that we ( the customers ) are part of the industry and not only that but that industry " lives " thank's to us not to them.

regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Raul, I agree. But the only part of the market we have SOME buying power is the specialised audiophile LP market. And even here - take the infamous Classic Records 200gr issues which were certainly plagued with pressing faults and warped samples - even with LPs which do ask some serious retail prices, we seldom get the excellent and careful pressing quality we ask for and deserve to get for our money.
I am collecting LPs since the early 1980ies.
There always were certain companies showing great care in what they released - excellent quality control. JVC Japan, King Records, for a long time DECCA and EMI (at least in their classical department...).
Today maybe we could put some "pressure" for quality on Classic Records, Speaker Corners etc.

You are right - we should try.
We all.
A small group is not enough.
We would need something (something like...) like the international boycott movement which eventually helped overcome apartheid in South Africa in the 1980ies/early 1990ies. That was a display of positive buyer's power (at least here in Europe).

I think the best way would be if Classic Records and all other audiophile record companies would just start having all their LPs pressed at JVC / Japan.
That would solve all our headaches.
I am in.

Dear raul, I don't know whether the old Microgroove Longplaying Record standards can be found anywhere on the web (but I believe so). I have them in the old printed papers of AE Anthology and Wireless World.

Dertonarm: Ok, good that you are of that kind of people that like " live its life " ( make things happen. ) and not only see how its life goes through.

Please email me to start about. All of you auio and music lovers friends ( elsewhere you are ) are invited too.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
