Non Fill Vinyl Records

I just cleaned my brand new copy of lcd soundsystem s american dream dfa records.

Non fill vinyl records.

Virgin vinyl means that the album is not from recycled plastic and will theoretically be. It occurs most often on a 180g record s outer edge and is caused by the vinyl s beginning to harden prematurely. If it doesn t pour properly or it starts to harden too early the machines can t cut the groove properly. Here s the new friday music issue of queensrÿche s empire.

I couldn t in good conscious sell this nearly brand new record graded higher than vg. A vinyl non fill record comes from a problem with the molten vinyl. In fact if the record is held in the right light it s even possible to see the non fill area. The sound produced is noise a shsssshing sound that we ve all heard too often.

This flaw causes a grinding or scratching sound at the non fill point. Non fill refers to a pressing defect that occurs when the molten vinyl does not flow fully to produce a well formed groove. Since most vinyl records contain up to 30 recycled vinyl impurities can accumulate in the record and cause even a brand new record to have audio artifacts such as clicks and pops. So tired of these shitty pressings.

Under light the unfilled areas appear to sparkle. The words 180 gram vinyl have been the cause for many misunderstandings and debate among the audiophile and vinyl records community. This was the problem that plagued classic s early 200g quiex sv p flat. The results are poor sound quality and a shooshing noise.

Which is ridiculous for a 25 record. Side 1 has a steady non fill crackle through the entire side. Non fill is when the vinyl does not fully flow up into the stamper giving a truncated groove wall and deformed lands.
