BillWojo 542 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Was at the GW tonight and looked through the records for something interesting and came across this. It's a LP to check out your TT and stereo system. Has test for balance, left and right channel, volume reference, frequency run test, output balance, wow or flutter testing, phase check, rumble check and acoustical test. The other side of the album has 4 different recordings to play. It's put out by Command records, anyone ever try this on there TT? BillWojo
LVMAN777 352 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 "Command test record The Command test record (Stereo Check Out) was an LP album produced by Command Records in 1960. It contained recordings designed to allow users to test their stereo equipment. Album details[edit] Like many other Command records, the Stereo Check Out came in a gatefold cover with extensive liner notes and full technical data inside. Charles Stark narrated both sides, providing both technical details and information about the musical instruments used on the tracks on Side Two. Side one[edit] Side One of this LP consists of turntable tests. An oscilloscope is a useful tool when used in conjunction with these tests: Stereo Balance Check Left and Right Channel Check Volume Reference Check Frequency Run Check Output Balance Check Flutter or Wow Check Phasing Check Acoustical Check Rumble Check Side two[edit] Side Two of this LP consists of musical selections from the Command catalogue: Hernando's Hideaway (from Provocative Percussion Vol II) Cumana (from Provocative Piano) Tenderly (from bongos) Enjoy Yourself Cha-Cha (from Pertinent Percussion Cha-Cha's)..." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_Records
oldtexasdog 2,461 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Quality Records has a new version of this also. I have been looking for a Blank Vinyl or a One sided record to accurately set my "skate"
BillWojo 542 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 LVMAN, that's it. Looks to be in good condition. When I have a little time I'll play with it and see if I find any problems with my TT. Not bad for a buck. BillWojo 1

dennismiller55 4,817 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 There are a lot of good test records out there. I doubt that your GW find was ever used but a few times. It should be in very good condition. I have this: Hi-News Test LP
HappyTrails 498 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I own this one, but not actually tested the system. Hmmm, I need to do that this weekend
