Vinyl Asylum

The exception is bad groove damage that causes crackling of the music itself

Yes! Actually, I posted a bit about this above under my "Noise" response, but, alas, was ignored! :-)
I agree. If there is groove damage distortion, it becomes PART of the music, and nothing is worse to my ears. I won't tolerate it and just toss the LP. Luckily, I seem to encounter that on only a very small sampling of the cheaper used LPs, so I don't feel bad ditching them.

just tossing those Lps - OMalley 13:25:26 04/26/07 (2)
I am now running the DL-103 and get groove damage noise but I ain't tossing those Lps. Not when I know a smaller stylus is on it's way eventually which will make that groove damage 'above' the glide.
Even groove damaged records can be kept aside until you have a vdH stylus let you know if they are really trashed all the way or not.

  The stuff I have tossed, though, was usually in the $1 to $2 range. Sometimes less. And, not particularly interesting or, if interesting, not particularly rare, so I figured I could replace it.
  But, I'd follow your advice if it was both music I loved and some rare pressing.

    that is the only one i have ever seen.
    Beethoven Archduke trio on Turnabout / VOX label
    Pablo Casals ~ cello
    Sandor Vegh ~ violin
    Mieczyslaw Horszowski ~ piano
    The thing is near destroyed but I just wont fling it. I need a stylus that is surgical.
    That is the major one.
