On my Blue Note Lex Ave Miles Davis Vol 1,there are several straight line scratches across one side. They look like they were made by a nail or ??..Amazingly, these marks do not sound at all! BUT they sure look terrible.
In my experience it depends on the stylus profile whether some scratches will sound or not. My DL-103 which rode sort of higher up or more superficial to the groove was very picky about scratches. The line-contact on my Zyx not so much. I have records that would play with repeating tics every revolution on the Denon, that are perfectly quiet on the Zyx.
