    So this is now the “how strangers should manage/spend their money” thread?

    Yes, I can't believe this stuff really. I thought it was OK to buy an extra record and not have to explain what you intend to do with it.

    The runout number of 005 seems to have the SRV on Side 1 while 009 vinyl does not. Knowing the number and runout number helps to determine which albums are bad. Thank you for your reply.

    I just called MD and asked them what was in the pipeline for One Step's. They told me and I pre-ordered.

    I believe that if Mofi contracted with a different pressing plant that they would have a vested interested in having their One Steps sound the same or better than RTI. There's too much money to be made or lost by changing the quality up or down.

    Ohhh, we're serious. Then I go for Famous Blue Raincoat by Jennifer Warnes.

    Can anyone confirm that the first generation master tapes have been used and that the chain is was AAA for this release? If not,it makes more sense to search for an original pressing of this album, not?

    When you write " ... for this release?" - you would have to tell us what Innervisions item you are referring to, please. I'm about 95% sure what the poster was referring to was the 1991 compact disc Original Master Recording UDCD 554.

    Stevie Wonder - Innervisions

    No, not really. If played with a well adjusted turntable, that shouldn't happen for a thousand plays.

    No, it's not okay. At least not with the public voice.

    Not really serious, but they play it safe.

    Definitely not..... even on a well adjusted 100k turntable! The differences are easier to hear on state-of-the-art turntables... which can reveal micro sonics, you cant’t hear on 1k turntable/cart, even the turntable is perfect adjusted.

    Records will not wear down when the playback equipment is in proper working condition......anyone who is discovery that their vinyl is being compromised needs to examine their stylus and turntable.

    Nah.

    Let's say this. Would you say that Michael Fremer has a high end table setup? Not that he has always had one, but he has cared for his records pretty well over the decades, and has ones. Has he heard a worsening with his most played records? He doesn't seem to think so.

    But I think we're largely speculating. I don't personally have experience with playing any particular record so often on a great table that I can personally attest to it, one way or another.

    Totally wrong... think to physics! Every LP will deteriorate with every play! First it depends on the vinyl, secondly who will play his LP 1000 times?

    But do we know even which frequencies get affected, if they do enough to hear? Think of car tires. Sure, each rotation wears down the tire a tiny bit. But how many rotations does it take to really degrade the performance?

    You can figure out the approximate wear for each rotation mathematically, for shi*s and giggles. If you have a 48,000 mile tire, measure how far down the tread of the tire would need to wear before they're replaced, and the circumference of the tire, you can do a calculation.

    In the meantime, we don't know how much wear on a record is needed before you hear any depreciation in sound, do we? If not, it's speculation.
