Hi Fi News Test LP

Product Overview

The HI-Fi News Test Record

Recorded onto audiophile quality 180g vinyl, the new version also includes a full-sized set-up protractor and includes an additional frequency sweep test.

Great product, easy to use.
Had a copy of the original LP that is now over 40 years old. You don't use the record that often except when changing a cartridge or just want to check every thing is ok .

Excellent Pressing and easy to use set-up template

Posted by Paul Williams on 23rd May 2013

I have an old original version of this test LP but it was showing its age - particularly on the blank grooves test. The new pressing on this test LP was supremely quiet and the set-up template helped me, finally, to align my new Goldring Legacy cartridge properly (it has a rounded design but sounds great.
