Brand New Vinyl Static and Pops

1. No

2. Good

3. Extended usage

4. Yes

Brand new vinyl may be noisy, even with a new stylus. It might need cleaning (yes, even if new) or it might be a bad pressing where even cleaning it thoroughly will not help. In that case it should be returned.

We do seem to attract some visitors whose answer to any vinyl issue is that we should stream our music. I confess I find this irritating, but there again, that is probably the purpose of their trolling.
