It is, but my hits to misses ratio is very good. Even with the misses, used records prices are often low enough that I've found them to be a safe bet. A visual inpection reveals a lot about how the record has been treated throughout its life; signs of dirt and or scractes are pretty obvious. Better yet, friendly record stores will allow you to play a record before you buy it. I admit that some pressings could be better, but rarely have I bought new records that were problematic.I wouldn't suggest that an LP's possible shortcomings constitute an "absolute quality." I WOULD say that what a record does well tends to outweigh any faults it might have. Like most record listeners, I can easily ignore tics and pops on a beaten-up record because they are sonically "detached" from the music. Sure I'd rather have a better copy of a bad record, but it's still fun to listen to. A CD that skips on the other hand, forget it!
