Sorry slaw, you missed my apparently bad attempt at humor. My question was how terry could evaluate a record if it was still sealed? Obviously that was not his intent, but that's the way it read.
On subject, I still utilize a VPI machine, although I intended to set up a US cleaner. I will say that I too have sometimes noted LPs which appear quite beat up but play cleanly, while I also have some which look "pristine" but do have pops or crackles. I'm hoping the US will eliminate those.
