I have hundreds of 50s/60s originals that sound great with no trace of warps. I’d say 30% of new pressings are warped. Mikey Fremer played three new records in a recent video and all were warped.
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?
