Chiming in again. Got two damaged records yesterday. Emailed them today and got a response that replacements were on the way in 4 hours. It really is a crapshoot.
It absolutely is! I have fixed the gnarliest of dish warps on some of my rarest records (Handsome Boy Modeling School, Oriental Jazz, and a few others). Just happy to finally be able to play them and not damage anything!
I've found 3.5 hours to be the sweet spot!
Finally nailed down the rhythm with my Spin Clean and cleaned 50 records yesterday. Also have successfully run 4 albums through the Vinyl Flat. Previously unplayable records sound and play flawlessly now! :D
Just bit the bullet and bought a VinylFlat ^_^ First order of business will be trying to get my first record ever purchased (Wu Tang - 36 Chambers) from so warped it launches my stylus to playable lmfao.
LMFAO being a VMP member right now is absolutely frustrating. Patience is a hell of a virtue right now. (I'm a VMP member right now and still haven't gotten my December shipment or any resolution to support tickets opened in late November.)
