Welcome To the site of Enrique P.

I can offer you music rarities from INDIA, PHILIPPINES and SINGAPORE.

Stritctly, authentic items only and honestly graded.

Though my 95% collection contains items from India. It is not a recent collection but everything collected before year 2014 when i was a student and there were better chances of getting a Mint condition music item (specially records) at a decent price. My collection also consists of items from friends who later got job or moved abroad or now have no time for online selling. Most of my collection is stocked ay my grandparents' house in Goa (India).

If you are into records from above countries then you know proper grading is a big big problem specially records from India. Most of my abroad settled friends told me that people in USA/Europe etc who collect/listen Indian records told them they hesitate or stopped purchasing records from India because of overrated grading and slow shipping. At market places and self made websites, most records are graded as VG with too many plus and minus. Sellers may be honest but grading vinyl with only a quick look and highlightling the good area instead of bad area is not a good practise. Aforesaid buyers can pay $10 to $15 for a VG condition EP but if an ep is graded as M/NM and priced $50+, then they want to make sure that is really a M/NM record.

I believe that a detailed grading is very necessary to tell why record is VG+ or Ex and why not M/NM and again why record is VG+ or Ex and not Good or Fair. Some serious sellers from India will add that hairline marks, scuffs, fuzzy etc but it may not give the idea how record will sound. That is why the only way to grade a record from India is grade with an actual sound clip. Period.

That is why i have created this site to host the sound clips for item we sell at marketplaces because most marketplaces do not allow a sound clip in item description and even if they do, they over compress the sound and it will defeat the purpose. I will develope another site to sell all my inventory but dont know when as it takes considerable amount of time to clean, listen and make clips even from a single N/NM record.

So, right now i am using this site to sell on marketplaces. all my records are

1 Cleaned with vaccum based machines (78 rpms cleaned on vacuum machines with distilled water only)

2 Played and tested on decent turntable with tracking force equal or less than 2 grams.

3 Electron tube phono stage is used as preamp (EAR 834 based).

4 Decent sound card (Asus Xonar DX) is used to record clips.
