whart, you may have more time on your hands to review lps if you read others' posts with greater accuracy. This would free up your reviewing time.
Then again, this makes one wonder if what you hear when listening, translates accurately to what others hear?
|
believe or not... are you wearing sneakers when you play records? This causes static, especially in the winter months. Good luck!
|
whart, If you would re-read, the OP is using Spin Clean lp solution. The OP also stated clearly , he has a Clearaudio Matrix machine.
The post you made immediately discounted the facts the OP laid out clearly. Gimme a break!
Here is your post " Vacuum machines- if you indeed have one......" need I go on?
|
There are many threads already on this topic.
When you describe "new records play fine no static or dust noise. Older records play with what seems like a lot of dust noise no matter how well I try to clean." (This doesn't really make sense to me).
My memory says the Clearaudio has the velvet pads, right? These are static inducers. When using this type of machine, the goal is to perform as few rotations as possible. Does your TT have an acrylic platter? If so, these types of platters react with vinyl records to produce static.( These two pieces of equipment represent major dollars but are having this negative effect on your vinyl).
With no change to equipment, I'd buy a Mapleshade static gun as your current best, low cost option.
(I always steam my lps before my VPI and Audio Desk).

The use of any alternate brush before the vacuum process would be counter-productive.
The (fact?) that your platter is acrylic, is of no small consequence!
Another inexpensive method would be to buy a steamer. (Around $40.00). Use a good fluid, let air dry then compare! I'm all about trying out for your self. This would involve some time & effort, but seeing how you're into vinyl, this comes with the territory.
( My memory of the Zerostat is you have to use it according to specific directions)
My Mapleshade trounced my Zerostat and is less expensive to boot!
In a perfect world, one should be able to clean their records then immediately play them. This is another reason why I like my method. There is no substitute for steaming. None!

mofi, still, you will apologize. Why?'' Is it for hijacking the thread in order to try and make a mockery of my informative guidance?
I'm the one that was misrepresented. I'm the one who did my best to give the OP a basis for going forward, by my correctly reading the original post.
You now say, "sorry, I've taken this off topic", then apologize to the OP?
WOW?
|
mofi, your own response leads me to ask myself...If I had more posts, (in numbers), say 2000, would you have responded in the same way?
whart, you should really chime in now. You have the FLOOR. You have a long time member "backing" your misinformation.
What do I have?
Facts? This doesn't seem to be relevant here, does it?
|
My world responds to others who should save their defense of other's misinformed. misread comments for more relevant, INFORMED responses.
|
By my trying to apprise all of my intent, I'm somehow being "mean"?
What world am I living in??
|
mofi..I'm sure whart is a great guy.
"So he didn't read the post quite right, so what?"
Well, isn't THAT exactly WHAT we are suppose to do in order to draw upon our experience so we can give the BEST advice to anyone???
SO WHAT??? Damn right, SO WHAT! That's what this forum is all about!
Am I missing something?
|
I think I'm in the "wrong place" for direct, honest talk."
Please accept my apologies for any correct statement I've made.
A.
|
mofi, yes, I've made plenty of mistakes. Most of them, if not all, I've had to account for myself!
When I have the opportunity to read someone's post, (with no time limits), I would hope I could respond accordingly without someone else interfering on my behalf.
I did not find my direct response to a post as an ":attack". I feel sorry that you took it this way. If your idea of a direct, informative discussion is to just be (nice) with no alternate point of view... well, i guess I'm in the wrong forum.
Acutually, I've been here for longer than you know.
|
mofi, In your response to me, (I assume you are saying you were wrong?)
If by my expressing the "truth", I'm somehow being mean??? Well;, I was just trying to defend myself from false information.
Is this taken by you or others as "mean"?
|
I finally get it... I'm living in the "bizzarro world"!
I'll now bow out for you all to continue on.
