VINYL CONDITION: VG
COVER CONDITION: N/A (Generic.)
NOTES: From insert:
The Cardas Sweep Record is a curiously effective tool for improving the sound of your entire audio system. To use the sweep record:
- Listen to your system.
- Set the system to a low-normal volume.
- Play just one of the sweep bands.
- Listen to your system again. You'll be amazed.
Hear the little clicks and pops in the high-frequency portion of the recording? They indicate the renewed clarity of your system.
What the sweep record did:
- Degaussed your cartridge.
- Degaussed your entire system.
- Ultrasonically cleaned your stylus and cantilever.
Be sure to rotate your use of the sweep bands and clean the record ocassionally.
In addition to the sweep bands, you will find several blank spots suitable for setting tone arms, especially the anti-skate/level of linear tracking air bearing arms.
For a special thrill, play the inside groove at 45 RPM while you fluxbust your cartridge.
Enjoy,

Records are graded using the Goldmine system, shown below for reference:
Sealed: Jacket sealed in shrink wrap or other original packaging. The vinyl in this case is sold as-is or not graded.
NM (Near Mint): No visible defects. No writing, stickers, spindle marks, or any other imperfections on label. Appears unplayed and unhandled.
VG++: May have some light wear including sleeve scuffs or other superficial marks that will not affect play.
VG+: Will have some light wear that may include sleeve scuffs, very light scratches, or other superficial marks.
VG: Similar imperfections to a VG+ record, but they're either more pronounced, or there is a higher number of imperfections.
VG-: Many light scratches or scuffs. Any record with an isolated defect such as a single scratch that can be felt with a fingernail will have a VG- grade or lower. The record will not skip but some noise is expected.
G: Many imperfections, including but not limited to scratches that can be felt with a fingernail. A lot of background noise, clicks, and pops should be expected with this grade.
