Hello.
I recently bought an SL3 setup used. It came with ltd. ed. Guitar Center control vinyls that I do not like as they feel too thick and heavy and not enough like a real record.

When I go on Amazon I see a TON of choices. I wonder if everything I see will work with my SL3 and 2.4.2 or do I need to get certain ones?

Can anyone recommend compatible control vinyls that are a little thinner, lighter, and true to most actual records?

The Original Black ones are going to the the best print. Colored ones can be too thin or wear faster because of the material used.

My blues are pretty thin but my faves for feel are the clears.

Thanks djbanno!

Yes, thanks all.
I was only asking because I once saw in a thread that someone commented certain CV's are no longer compatible. I couldn't find the thread. I'm on Amazon looking at CV's now. Thanks.

Any CVs that are not made by Serato will not work with the latest version. So as long as they are Original Serato Vinyl, they will work.

No Luis Vuitton or Gucci Vinyl lol

Throw these on ebay (if they are in good condition) and you might just cover the cost of your new CV's...
