So over the past year I have been having a major problem with the scratch live time codes almost every time i buy them now they are warped, only one side has a strong signal, or doesnt work at all. So rane has been great to exchange these bad time codes only problem is, is that many times even the exchanged ones have the same problem. I have many dj friends who have been having the same problem. i called Rane this morning to ask if they were aware of this growing trend and they said they have not noticed it so i'm starting this discussion to see how many of us are having this problem so that maybe Rane can do something to ensure we get quality time codes when we need them if you are having this problem please let it be known.

depends on who you buy your vinyls from. Some distributers dont care if your vinyl is warped cause of heat. Now when you buy from turntable lab my experience has been that I recieve a well packaged piece of vinyl that is hardly ever warped. Who are you buying from so I know to stay away. Guitar centers mostly have warped ass vinyl cause there are stored improperly

I just bought a new pair of black CV's from guitar center and they were warped beyond reason!!! WFT

yes guitar center is usually where ive been buying them but i have purchased them from turntable lab before and they have been warped i don't like to pay shipping is why i usually buy them from guitar center

I have bought CV's from pretty much everywhere, ebay, faderonline, turntablelab, even a few shops in the UK and non has been as bad as this last black CV I got from GC.

^^^Exactly I always open mine up before I leave guitar center and if they are warped I switch em out right there

Same hear bought some off an online retailer open them up and and POW!! Warped Vinyls!! Whats the dilly?

faderonline has serious vinyl shipping they have hard cardboard packaging made with insert so it cant move

The last pair of vinyl I bought from TTlab were warped..

I just got one from guitar center too that was warped.... : / WTF!
