Records that were recorded with the singer close to the horn - which produces a nice, forward sound - appear to be more vulnerable.<br /> My question is, does graying get worse if you play such records but make sure to use fresh needles? The blasting that occurs can make a record unlistenable when played on a modern turntable with a diamond stylus, but is often less pronounced when playing them on a Victrola </p>
