GRADING LEGEND - MEDIA


MINT: 

Record sealed and in perfect condition.


MINT-MINUS:

Seems unplayed and is almost flawless.


VERY GOOD PLUS: 

Shiny and clean. May have a hairline or mark that does not affect play, and could have a stray, random click.


VERY GOOD: 

Use evident but well cared for. Low surface noise. May start off with a crackle which lessens significantly after a few turns.


ACCEPTABLE: 

Use evident with hairlines and scuffing. Moderate surface noise with occasional clicks and pops.


FAIR: 

Heavy hairlines and scuffing, as well as some scratches, but no skips. Pervasive surface noise.



GRADING LEGEND - SLEEVE


MINT:

May be unsealed, but is definitely flawless.


MINT-MINUS:

You really have to look, but there's a spot or nick somewhere.


VERY GOOD PLUS:

Overall nice and clean, but there's a nick, bend or bruise that is not evident.


VERY GOOD:

Used but well cared for. May exhibit light ringwear, bend marks, edge scuffing and/or sticker bruises, but discreetly.


ACCEPTABLE:

Obviously used. Will show ringwear, bendmarks, edge scuffing, cellotaping and/or sticker bruises, but no rips, splits or tears, and is not too distressing to the eye.


FAIR:

Same as ACCEPTABLE, but may have small rips, splits or tears. Sleeve is intact but not pretty.


GENERIC:

White, nylon lined paper sleeve. Comes with polyethylen outer protective sleeve for optimal storage.



GRADING METHOD


- Records are first assessed visually. Obviously scratched or otherwise poor records are discarded. 

- Records are then triple washed ultrasonically, after which they are re-examined visually. 

- Obviously excellent records are graded as such.

- Records showing hairlines, specks, scuffing, fogginess or other manifestations, no matter how minute, are examined on our Technics SL-150 MKII, fitted with an SME 3009 Series III tonearm and Denon DL-103 MC cartridge. Results of this examination are conveyed unabashedly if they fall beyond our standard grading legend.
