IndigoHollow Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Recently got a package from Wax Vessel and noticed that it has a small crack near the edge. Will be moving soon and a turntable is already packed up and I have no opportunity to try it out in the nearest weeks. Based on your experience, should it be playable with such a crack? Seems like it situated outside of the audio tracks. Sucks that it appear on such a rare record as Wax Vessel's one. Package was in perfect condition, so this crack shouldn't be from mechanical stress. Maybe a temperature difference? It was -25 °C (-13 °F) in my city. Got in touch with Nick from Wax Vessel, but he said that he can't replace it. The only option was to send this record back to him and get a refund. Bummer.

hype Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 At least it's not through any of the actual music. Just be careful when you first drop the needle and make sure it's beyond that crack. whoa and IndigoHollow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hard to tell with the translucent vinyl but if it’s actually a divot or chip, as mentioned above, you’ll want to be extra careful not to drop the needle on that area when playing. Otherwise, you’re good. IndigoHollow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INRIhab Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) My RTJ1 has a crack basically the same as that. Doesn't affect the music whatsoever. Sucks it had to be on a Wax Vessel record... I just preordered the From a Second Story Window set from them. Its not going out until late in the year, but it is my first purchase with WV. So hoping it'll be a quality product since it cost a fortune to ship to Canada! Good luck with the move!

nate_8907 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 if you get crack on your record, you need to take it to rehab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
