Hi all,

I am fairly new to LPs and having read a bit about dish carves over the years, I was wondering if there are specs for my 2023 R7.
I know they varied a lot even in the golden era, but I think I read somewhere that in recent years all Historics have the Carmelita dish, but I’m not sure about mine.

Does anybody have more information as to what mine looks or should be like?

That is the Carmelita dish.

Dishes actually varied all over the map.

The Carmelita is more drastic than most IMO.

I made sure to make the dish look more drastic in the pics than it does in real life.
Do all recent reissues have the Carmelita dish?
