Straight answers

About Vinyl411.

What the tool does, which grading language it follows, and where audio evidence fits.

What is Vinyl411?

Vinyl411 is a guided vinyl record grading tool. It asks plain questions about the exact record and sleeve, then organises the answers into a conservative condition grade and report.

What grading standard does Vinyl411 use?

Vinyl411 uses the familiar Goldmine-style NM-to-P condition scale. It grades the record and sleeve separately, never awards Mint automatically, and explains the observations behind the result.

Can Vinyl411 analyse a vinyl recording?

Yes. The optional server-side audio check can mark possible isolated clicks and estimate background-noise audibility when a usable opening quiet-groove reference is present. Audio is supporting evidence, not proof of groove damage.

Who is Vinyl411 for?

Vinyl411 is designed for record collectors, private sellers and record shops that want clearer, more consistent condition descriptions.
