> a question from the relative vinyl newbie that i am (child of the cd era): how > many times can i expect to play through a record, given relatively good care, > before i'll start to hear any actual degradation in the sound? depends largely on your turntable, your speakers, your ears, etc...a really good turntable with a nice cartridge will cause less degradation than a cheap consumer one. and degradation is more noticeable with higher quality speakers. some records that i've had since '95 or '96 and played fairly often (like afx's "hab" for one) are noticeably duller than new ones...but that's analog media for you... ..
