Sorry for such a delayed response. All I can say is, "it depends." I have old (60's/70's vintage)records that I've stolen back from my daughter that sound okay, but they have been played a lot. I've purchased used records that sound great and I've purchased new reissues that are better than original.

To me, and this is where I differ from a lot of "audiophiles" is I'm more interested in how the music makes me feel than how "clean" the recording is.
