Question Vinyl

[Rockcandy]

Are Coloured Vinyl any good for playing on the turntable? When buying second-hand vinyl LPs, I found a lot of dust on them. After LP cleaning, it sounds like a new LP.

They wouldn't produce them if they were not playable.....

Hi, from my experience there is no sound difference between black and coloured vinyl. Even black is coloured. To wash or deeply clean old dusty vinyls is a must. They for sure sound better and make life for your cartridge/stylus easier. BR.

Well this one sounds really good - just like any other well recorded, 12" single - regardless of colour.

I've read people saying coloured vinyl records don't sound as good as black but for the couple I have in both, can't really tell the difference.

It can surprise you but even black vinyl is coloured. No influence at all.

No issues at all. Plus they're easier to produce than black vinyl which apparently needs some additive to create the black pigment.

They all have a colour added to the plastic, as PVC is white, thetecwill also be other additives so, the PVC has the right level of hardness and rigidity/flexibility.
