Hey Doc Z, I believe matching is probably the way to go. I have thousands of min-condition vinyl 45's, reissue and original, from 1950's to 2002. Yep! I did say 2002.
Perhaps you may have encountered considerable feed back through your speakers from playing vinyl at a very high level? If so, what solution, if any, did you find to eleviate the problem.
Any advice you could give would be helpful.
