Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I just checked my CBS STR-100 disc and it...

...has test tones (20,18,16,14,10 and 5kHz) at -15dB ref 0dB, 5cm/s RMS for L and R channels at the inner and outer grooves for determining scanning loss/wear. I am not aware of any current test discs that have similar test tones, although any test disc with spot frequencies could be used. A cartridge manufacturer could specify the "life" based on any arbitrary frequency they chose and choose any distortion level that gave them favourable numbers.
