I didn’t watch the video. Do the “real world conditions “ mentioned take into account that many of the LPs on the resale market were boxed and stored for decades in basements, attics, garages, outside sheds….?
How long do records last?
From the YouTuber:
"Lots of people talk and worry about vinyl records wearing out, but finally here is a controlled, long-term experiment to test how much audible wear actually happens to records played in real-world conditions on a variety of turntables. I highly suggest a quiet listening environment and good pair of speakers or headphones to observe the results."
