Tanong po ulit mga masters.... defect ba talaga ng vinyl yung parang may maliit na maliit na lubak sya...parang upside down na volcano? Or it naturally occurs on vinyls that has not been well taken care of?
Salamat po!

Tanong po ulit mga masters.... defect ba talaga ng vinyl yung parang may maliit na maliit na lubak sya...parang upside down na volcano? Or it naturally occurs on vinyls that has not been well taken care of? Salamat po! Control- What you described are 'pits' in the vinyl. This is probably a manufacturing defect. Is this a LOCAL LP? I usually see this in our locally produced LPs. As long as your stylus can track it w/o distortion, i guess you're ok. If it skips, avoid this track completely. The opposite of the 'pits' are 'bubbles' or the LP having a case of 'chicken pox/bulutong'. The London/Decca LPs of old are notorious for these over time. Examining the surface of these, you will notice these bumps on the surface. It appears to be some delamination of the vinyl and is probably from the heat here in the tropics. Once the LP has one, you can be sure more will appear. This is irreversible. Another thing I noticed is the decreased 'gloss' of some LP surfaces. It's like the gloss was replaced by a 'matte' appearance. I've seen a couple of LPs like this that when played were distorted. The owner remembers that it wasn't 'matte' before and that the sound was ok previously. This too is a degradation of the vinyl. Similar to the above is the appearance of 'squiggly' lines across the grain of the vinyl grooves. I've seen some of these in circa 1950's LPs. Sadly, when you see this, the LP is unplayable. Has anyone noticed any of what I've mentioned above?

stereophile,
i also noticed some pits and and bubbles in some of my local lps. it doesnt skip when the stylus tracks thru it but i can hear sounds like "wow" or "tug".
i also found an lp that has some sort of a map on it. some areas are "matte" and some are "shiny", when the stylus tracks thru the shiny area it sounds ok but when it is on the "matte" finish distorted na.
is there a way that we can take out the matte finish on those lps? i tried washing it with a dishwashing liquid but to no avail.
thanks.

Thanks for the info Master stereophile.... you have guessed it correctly those are local lps..on the other hand some of the vinyls that I have which are "pamana" to me by my parents have those pits and some even have those somewhat molds (I guess it's due to its unproper storing place and procedure).

Sadly, the conditions are irreversible. I suggest you play what tracks can be played. In time, those will 'get sick' :- too. It's time to look for another copy-if at all. Unless you are using a cheap cart/stylus w/c you don't mind risking damage running thru these 'speed bumps' or pits, I wouldn't recommend running thru them. Better still, scan carefully the record surface prior to buying. All you'll be left with in the end is the album jacket.

got this tip a while back from Stereophile but was able to get them only today... for those who dont want to spend too much on covering your vinyl - but want them to stay clean after washing, rather than sliding them back in those skanky plastic covers - get these: the opaque one beside it is the more expensive Phoenix brandhere is a close up of the tag available in Audiophile supermarkets only ;D @ P61.75 for a 100 pcs - sulit!

ice- Did you check if your plastic is anti-static? I am often asked by visitors when they dropby: What do I use after I clean my LPs? Do I put them back in the dirty paper or plastic sleeves, or do I buy the expensive polyethylene inner sleeves? I use to buy the commercial audio inner sleeves. But as your collection of LPs grows, the cost can be significant, that it can equate to a couple more LPs! The sleeves have to be made of polyethylene w/c is the same material as the branded ones. One way of 'testing' if it is polyethylene, is that the vinyl should not STICK to the plastic. If it does, it is not ANTI-STATIC w/c is why polyethylene is the material of choice. I have been trying some local polyethylene bags for about 4 years now. So far, they have not broken down nor affected the vinyl. I did not post this before, because I wasn't sure if the thinner gauge polyethylene would breakdown and cause damage to my/your precious vinyl. I tried this out for personal reasons. Besides, others will scoff at the idea of using 'inferior/substandard/not designed for' sleeves for their vinyl, hence the reason I could not openly endorse this. The CAVEAT (I always tell those who ask) is: YOU TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Those who have tried the same material I use have also not reported any breakdown or damage to their vinyl and are happy analog campers. BOTTOM LINE: MAKE SURE IT IS MADE OF POLYETHYLENE AND IS ANTI-STATIC. Of course, if you don't want to use plastic, the other material to use is PAPER! ;D

Did my first lp cleaning session last night... medyo kabado but still, I continued to clean some of my vinyls.
The materials: Transparent canister (yung pinaglagyan ng CDO hamburger patty) Joy Uratex soft foam
The procedure: Dropped a few joy antibac (lemon) to 2oz water, stirred the water until joy was disolved and merged with water..Carefully, I rinse the clean uratex foam from the mixed solution and gently applied it to the lp clockwise with the caution of preventing contact to the middle part of the vinyl where the title is at....After applying the solution to the 1st side of the lp, I started to rinse it with running tap water from our sinks faucet...I also did clean the other side of the vinyl with the same procedure and wiped it with a bath towel (o kwela diba... labs na labs...hehehe). After a few minutes of drying after wiping the vinyl, I played it on my turntable and suprisingly almost all the popcorn sounds, skips and dirts was gone...
Ganun pala yun... Thanks Mga Masters....
