TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I give up. I'll have to live with the defect i guess.... I can't be bothered to contact them again to say that the replacement copy has the exact same problem as the original. I suspect they have shipped me a replacement copy that was not from a new pressing. If you can't see the scratch, but your record is popping or skipping, it may just need a good cleaning. Check out the cleaning thread; I don't remember if it's in this sub-board or over in the turntable one. Just a dry clean will not remove the debris that causes a skip like this. I understand that it is a new record and people expect them to play perfectly, but often there is residue from the pressing plant that can get packed into the grooves, so small you may not see it. It's sounding like that may in fact be your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sounding like that may in fact be your problem. I know what your saying. I clean all my records before playing for the first time. The new ones are cleaned mostly to get rid of the static build up. And used ones i clean more vigorously as there is generally fingerprints or dust and hair that need to be washed out of them. The thing with this record is strange, it sounds exactly like a long scratch because the 'tick' is in the exact same position on every rotation, but there is no visible damage to the vinyl. I'll clean them both again really well before i play them next time and see if anything changes. It seems strange that I've received two copies with the exact same defect.... if it's a pressing defect it should effect more copies......

It's cool they are helping people out. But totally understand, I've bought new items that have had issues, guess it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say you're cleaning them, are you vacuum cleaning them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 When you say you're cleaning them, are you vacuum cleaning them? I don't have a vacuum system so i'm using the cleaning solution with the cleaning brush technique. It's not perfect, but it's the best option for me at the moment. I also use a carbon fibre brush before play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxvinyl Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 From facebook: CAKE Vinyl Box Set PRE-ORDER CAMPAIGN to launch on Thursday, June 12 Same as first press. Great news! I wonder if they are going to sell them separately as well. Really only interested in picking up a few for the time being... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangl3r Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm pretty sure they are only selling them in box sets. Surely it's worth the price even just for a few of the records? I haven't seen a more reasonably priced box set. So keen for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends what prices you can normally buy records for! Prices are pretty high in Australia, so even buying the box set for a few of the records doesn't seem so bad; I understand prices are generally a lot better in the US though.

Youinreverse Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Great news! I wonder if they are going to sell them separately as well. Really only interested in picking up a few for the time being... Why not just pick up the box set and sell the albums you don't want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajhall04 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Why not just pick up the box set and sell the albums you don't want? Or have some nice trade bait. Honestly, every album is worth it (in my opinion, which totally matters). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toomanyrecords Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 And a Gerry Mulligan fan. And a Kanye West fan. And a Lou Christie fan. And a Pink Floyd fan. And a Blue Sky Black Death fan. And a The National fan. Don't pin people and judge them to make yourself feel better about some arbitrary insecurity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
