![]() ![]() ![]() Thinking I maybe just didn't notice this with other records, I checked several this weekend and none of those have this issue. Maybe this is related to the tight sleeves, but it's at a faster cycle than the warps. A shame, as the effect looks cool, but they should have been just a tiny bit larger.īut still, every disc causes the cartridge to visibly shake during the first few minutes of the side, which creates an audible "rush" under the (usually quiet) music. I definitely won't be using these to hold the records, even with another inner to protect from scuffing. I'm not sure if Optimal can be blamed for the warping I think the sleeves are just a bit too tight 2 or 3 in particular. But I compared each pair and am keeping all the new ones. Update: I gone through my replacement set and these have fewer scuffs and no scratches, but disc 9 might be more warped than the first copy, and several others are also pretty wavy. Planning to contact Amazon, but haven't gotten to it yet. I hate to have to replace the entire set, but that's probably what's next. I don't _see_ anything obvious on the disc, and there's no visible bump there. It's most obvious (and audible) at the start of each side, and diminishes after a bit. ![]() Also - I'm not sure what this is - on all 4 sides of Lightness (and I'll have to double check some others), the cartridge shakes side to side at one point, on each revolution. A couple of other discs have light warps would be okay if not for these two. ![]() Some pressing issues, though: Disc 4 has some audible scratches, and disc 9 is fairly warped, with an audible whoosh twice each time around. And, for me, it's a little easier to stay with it for 15-20 minutes at a time, rather that 45-60. It doesn't feel arbitrary each side seems like it stands on its own. Click to expand.I'm finally through it all! Overall, I'm pretty happy with the sound, and for most of the pieces, I actually like the way they've been broken up. ![]()
