Vinyl: Check / Tacet

This LP gives the listener means to decide with his own ears and mostly (except for the frequency response) without measuring instruments, how well his system works or sounds.

Tacet has come up with quite a few novel tones and signals to systematically test the quality of an LP system. Some of them go to the limit of what vinyl technology can do at all.

The LP was created in cooperation with the Analogue Audio Association and with the help of Daniel Krieger from SST Schneidtechnik.

We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
