Maybe it needs to play a few times. I have read statements on older MFSL pressings indicating MFSL records will sometimes exhibit ticks and pops on the first few plays because the records are not "dehorned" at the factory, done in an effort to preverve the highest possible fidelity. Maybe this is the same thing. Or, its a poorly pressed copy-its happened to me. Any good record store will exchange it.
New Vinyl - "scratchy"?
I got the 2LP, 180g vinyl set of Jeff Beck, Live at Ronnie Scott's. Music is (of course) awesome, and the sound is amazing. EXCEPT, on quiet songs, there is a persistent scratchy sound. This was on the first play, and I've played other vinyl before and after that doesn't exhibit the same characteristic.
What would be your first suggestion as to possible cause - bad copy, bad pressing in general, something in my system that needs to be looked at, other?
Thanks in advance for any help.
