[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 928852, member: 807"] A good read :groovy:, But I found this in there.... and I cannot see any phoolery in it: ?Hundreds of factors determine what a vintage record will sound like, from the chain of ownership and whether it?s been properly stored to the purity of the vinyl stock and the quality of the equipment that produced it. One factor many serious record collectors fixate on is the quality of the stampers, the grooved metal plates used to press a lump of hot vinyl into a record album. Like any metal die, these molds have a finite lifespan. The accumulation of scratches, flaws, and other damage resulting from the tremendous mechanical stress a stamper is subjected to?100 tons of pressure during a production run?leads to a gradual loss of audio fidelity in the finished records.?
