I have many albums from the mid fifties onwards still sound great and no warped edges. Some have been played weekly to monthly or very seldom. No difference.. Take care of them and they will outlast you. Mine surely will ! 😃
The Lifespan of an LP?
How many times can one play a new vinyl lp before the sound noticeably degrades? For the purpose of the exercise, assume one takes decent care of the record and has a properly set up and maintained, good quality deck and stylus. My system has been taking quantum leaps in quality over the last three years and I find myself buying more mint and near-mint vintage records on Discogs and audiophile remastered records from MoFi etc. Thanks!
