I heard this fantastic 3-way battery powered bus quick-mix set once, but it ended after in a horrible trainwreck when the DJ didn't look both ways at a rail crossing.

The villains of the piece are definitely the Stanton 500als, which basically cane vinyl in a horrifying way - though there's always those little battery powered bus/car things that drive round your record with a little speaker on their back, don't ever use these if you want to listen to the record again. Through collecting old vinyl I've noticed that the quality of the vinyl varies a lot with economic circumstances. e.g. during the 70's and the oil crisis pressings became a lot thinner and peeps came up with silly ideas like RCA's shonky 'Dynaflex' pressings. These thin pressings, or worse still the ones pressed on adulterated vinyl, seem to be particularly prone to needle burn. A bit OT I'm afraid (especially for a first posting - please be gentle) but Richard started it.
