Break in times, especially carts, suck. 
Recording quality...
I can't say I put a lot of thought into it, if something comes available on vinyl that I want I buy it and enjoy it on it's own merit. Have a good 600 albums that I bought starting in 1965 and enjoy them still, even early 60 recordings I enjoy, th...
