depends largely on your turntable, your speakers, your ears, etc...a really
good turntable with a nice cartridge will cause less degradation than a cheap
consumer one. and degradation is more noticeable with higher quality speakers.
some records that i've had since '95 or '96 and played fairly often (like
afx's "hab" for one) are noticeably duller than new ones...but that's analog
media for you...
