PROFESSIONAL NEEDLE INSPECTION:
Diamond needles do wear out with use. In one year, playing one LP a day can cause record damaging needle wear. To properly inspect a needle for wear requires a good microscope. Yet, microscopes used in most stereo stores are adequate to show only gross wear that will cause serious damage to the delicate groves of your valuable records. Audio Classics has a $6800 Wild-Heerbrugg Laboratory Research Stereomicroscope. This instrument shows in greatest detail the record contact areas of your needle. At Audio Classics, you can see, with the aid of the stereo-microscope, the true condition of your needle. FACT - Up to 40% of new needles are in some way defective. You cannot buy a defective needle or an improperly calibrated and adjusted record player at Audio Classics because every new needle is inspected using the Wild-Heerbrugg laboratory Research stereo-microscope. In addition, the needle you buy will be installed on your turntable, the turntable will be electronically adjusted and balanced (at no charge) to insure you against abnormal needle or record wear. Audio Classics is committed to you, your enjoyment and your peace of mind.
