        Mine is crackling like a campfire in A3 and A4.. I will return this one for another copy. Sound overall is very nice of this one.

          I just got this from amazon for super cheap and couldn't be happier. It's dynamic, almost no surface noise, the record is flat, and the packaging is nice. The mix is a bit quiet I suppose, but it is called 'quiet life' after all. You want it loud then bump that shit. I might have gotten lucky, but it was cheap so I rolled the dice and it's rad.

            Any opinions regarding quality of this one? Is it worth to purchase or better to stick with early '80s pressing
