Picture disk vinyl noise
Hi everyone,
I've never noticed this before (I had this super nice gear) but my picture disk vinyl records have a "noise". It's like I can hear the needle dragging across the record. Anyone else notice this during quiet passages on their vinyls pressed with pictures? First noticed it on Taylor Swift's reputation, could it just be a bad pressing? |

I've had some (solid/single) colored vinyl which plays without excessive surface noise, but picture disks seem to be a completely different experience. They're made primarily for display or collecting and not really optimized for quiet playback. YMMV applies.

Thanks gents... I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan :sigh::sigh::banana::banana: so it's depressing... Hopefully it won't damage the cart.

I avoid picture and coloured disks with a vengence, generally found them to be noisier.

I guess my next purchase is a freaking DAC so I don't have to play Reputation on vinyl anymore. Sigh. Never ending hobby.

Yeah, picture discs always seem to be noisier than regular pressings. I have probably less than 10 of them. Off the top of my head, 2 of them are 45s where the songs were only pressed in that format. One is a rarer pic disc from one my favorite bands so it was worth it, it's fun to pull it out and give it a spin.
Colored vinyl I haven't really had any noticeable issues with, I know people love buying the limited edition rare only 1,000 pressed colored releases but I'm beyond that. I don't sit and look at the records while they spin, so the color is irrelevant to me. |
