Warped record


I just received a record from Amazon, beautifully packaged and protected for a change.  However the record is warped.  
Question is will it affect the sound and/or damage the cartridge?

Of course you can see why Amazon is not an ideal vendor to being giving special care to vinyl when they are shipping millions of products a day from hundreds of warehouses. 

@rvpiano …Only this new one which I exchanged for a more warped one! …

 It doesn’t happen often… but once in a while problems compound.

 

I ordered from Amazon about four or maybe five times. I remember returning two of them, both warps. I don’t order from them anymore. Too much hassle with returns. I like my life with no unnecessary complications.

+1 Yes warps come in all magnitudes. All but the smallest will be heard. You should return it.

Sure… but I would relax. It isn’t a conspiracy. Different errors and knowledge comes from different channels. If you buy from Amazon it will happen a lot… Music Direct less. It is avoidable by going to record stores or using a different media type. But, it comes with vinyl.
