Ozark Mountain Daredevils "It'll Shine When It Shines" pp |
BTW, @boxer12, thanks for the motor info! |
|
@elliottbnewcombjr,
I’ve purchased several and always try to give props when that happens. |
"Houses of the Holy" domestic/pp |
Hope she has safe travel. |
@bdp24,
Where you been bro? Thanks for chiming in. |
"Mystery to Me" is the other. |
Uber,
Maybe you keep the volume too high?
Moby Grape has been on my wish list quite a while. I missed out on a sealed pp of their first lp a while back. I’m pretty sure @bdp24 has mentioned them in the past. |
Did you pull your mask off and repeat?...or did you just give him thumbs up? |
@noromance ,
Feel free to tell others.
The MyMat ain’t no fluke! ...and frankly, neither am I |
I have that Jim Kweskin lp @noromance but it's pretty beat up. |
@tomic601 ,
Does the fact you're using your RM-9 again, mean your walnut amp stand is in use? |
Peter Wolf "Midnight Souvenirs" |

Hi @redwoodzz,
Welcome to this thread. I noticed one of your posts was asking about the Vandersteen Quatros. A regular poster here, @tomic601 has much experience with Vandersteen. I'm sure he'd be helpful. |
The Beatles "Yellow Submarine (songtrack)" UK/1999/ yellow vinyl
Surprisingly great SQ! |
Rilo Kiley "Under the Blacklight" |
Gram Parsons "Grievous Angel" pp
One of many my neighbor gifted me. Sounds (after cleaning) better than it looks. Actually sounds wonderful! |
The Julie Ruin "Run Fast" |
@unreceivedogma,
I love reading about your experience brother!
|
@noromance ,
Thanks brother.
|
Up now after it’s first US clean....
Ten Years After "Live at The Fillmore East 1970" 3 lp set/2018 Chrysalis.
This set is surprisingly clear/quiet/ nicely pressed. With great SQ. |
@bkeske, Brian,
If you’re serious, I saw an as new Rega RP10 with their 3000 arm for sale earlier on US AudioMart for around 50% off retail. If I were you, I’d jump on that!
The VPI....you can always go for the gimbled bearing arm at the same price as the uni-pivot. When I first got the tt I own from VPI, the uni-pivot was somewhat of a shock. After taking it on several dates, I have no problem with it. I have the dual-pivot upgrade which is great!
If I didn’t have so many projects in the pipe, I’d bought the Rega myself.
My feeling, at that price, the Rega would be your last TT. |
The "JBMD" Traffic lp from the box is easily heard as superior. Comparing both lps, it’s like the United Artists US lp is a couple generations removed. GET THAT BOX SET!
"I'm stuck in Traffic again" |
After listening to the above Traffic lp, I'll go to the same title from my recommended Traffic box set.
I'm pretty sure of the results...... |
@big_greg,
You're a bigger man than I, as I feared breaking a stylus/cantilever so much that I chose to attack the lp warps (at the source) by purchasing my ORB flattener. I'm not sorry. I think overall, I made the smart purchase. |
Bob Dylan "Blood on the Tracks" 2019/RSD? copy of the New York/test pressing.
SQ = EX! |
Well, I can't recommend this version more highly! |
Playing..........Priscilla Ahn "A Good Day" MFSL/I bought it based upon my male visual instinct.
SQ is great. Why I'd revisit...maybe never. |
I really never got into the above album before.
Now, hearing this copy, I GET it. Such a wonderful meeting of song writing, production, and SQ!
Get It! |
Rhiannon Giddens was one of the artists honoring at The Kennedy Center a few years ago. She came out and blew the house down wearing bear feet. I assume that was a nod to her roots. |
No idea Uber, I just roll with the flow buddy
Hey, You live in a sand box, great isolation |

Tried the Flux HiFi on side one of "The Last DJ" after listening through the complete side first. Same volume. Notes are slightly more clear, instruments have a little more sustain. Certainly, piano notes are more clearly presented. Looking at the stylus after cleaning, I could clearly see the stylus/cantilever interface more clearly and nothing came off on the blu-tack.
So at this point, especially since I've been so diligent with cleaning all along, I feel right now it's a worth while accessory, especially at a good discount. |
Jellybread "First Slice" Blue Horizon/US/WLP
Ran across this by chance and took a chance on it. |
Currently cleaning one of my gifted lps from @tomic601 , Nitty Gritty Dirt Band "Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy". Has one of my favorite songs on it, "Mr. Bojangles". I bought the Jerry Jeff Walker (who wrote it) lp earlier this year with that song on it. I went to YouTube to look up Sammy Davis Jr.'s version that I remember loving as a youngster. Didn't find that one but watched his performance in Germany circa 1985. Such a talented guy! |
I got in a Flux HiFi electronic stylus cleaner in today. Had my eye on this quite a while and decided to give it a go. My Sussurro is 1yr @ 8 mo. old with conservatively 2000 hours on it. ( I think most people following this thread know I listen at least 25 hours a week.) Still sounds great but I thought it would be a good candidate to try this unit on a little later.

@noromance ,
Now if you only had the cartridge for it............. |
Pretty sure that NGDB lp was (cleaned) by someone previously with lighter fluid.
|
|
My next one out of the "care package".....
Procol Harum "Live w/ The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra" 1972/A&M
PH is one band I'm sorely lacking in my collection. This record is surely one I'd never had thought of buying myself, which is why I appreciate it so much. Thanks again Jim! |
Hey James the Korppoo Trio had caught my eye earlier.
Arrived today,
Brandy Clark "Your Life is a Record"
2020/Warner
