Jim,
My copy came in flat on high quality vinyl. SQ is first rate. Recommended! |
Garbage "No Gods No Masters"
lime green vinyl |
On the Garbage lp, that is new to me ( I do own most of their stuff), I wasn’t thinking it’s sonics were all that, until the last two songs, that’s when I figured my amp/subs were coming back towards a nice operating temp. |
Finally started. I have a half vile of the PPT paste. First up, all of the fuses in my SMc amp,..all 7 of them. Whoo, I was sweatin’! Had a real small angled, long handled artist’s brush ready for the task. BTW, my fuses here, are the Hi-Fi Tuning.
Also, while I was under the hood, removed two Bybee IQSEs, as they aren’t compatible with the PPT stuff. I had great success in putting one inside each of my speaker ports a year ago. Will dbl that effort later.
More to come...... |
|
Pacific Gas & Electric "S/T" |
My amp/subs were off line for one hour. Decided to take all of the iQSEs out of the speakers. Will evaluate them later. I think my electronics are back up to listening intently now. |
Mary Gauthier "Live @ Blue Rock"
Been 48 hours since my fuse/PPT experiment. Have to say that today, listening to this intimate/acoustic performance is more intimate, draws me in more than before.

Pacific Gas & Electric "S/T"
after a slow steam and a long trip in the Vibrato |
Garbage "No Gods No Masters"
after a flattening.
Sounding much better from the get-go tonight. |
That would have been great Chris! |
The Thermals "Personal Life"
Forgot about this one, really good! |
Thanks @boxer12. Tim, I think if I hear improvements in the 3/4 week timeframe will be the best test to understand if the cleaning of the fuses/holder contacts was the initial benefit or if it will evolve from there in this application.
Of course you have some experience with the Hi-Fi Tuning compound. |
Bettye LaVette "Blackbirds" |
Tom, What happened to the Reference 3As?
We have many great universities here |
Sorry Jim, my notes say
What the Flood Leaves Behind
This Too Shall Light |
Chicago "Transit Authority"
MFSL
sounding better than ever..... |
@nicks25,
Good to see MyMat on your system list😎 |
John Moreland "Big Bad Luv" |
Glad you're back @reubent,Tom, makin' up for lost time? |
Jim, I was a first adopter of the Walker paste. Didn’t do much for me . I can say that tonight, I've never heard Transit Authority, one of my all time favorite lps, sound so clear and dynamic!
This was from cleaning/treating contacts that aren't in the signal path?
Wow!
Is the other stuff called Stabilant? Available on Amazon.
I have the Amy Helm lp. Need another listen.
|
@sourpuss123,
!!!! I feel you brother! |
Jim,
I have them both, I think??? |
@nicks25,
Love your system. The more I read about the Supratek stuff, the more I want! |
|
Hey Tim, I was sure that no one else would be posting? |
Me too brother. Take care.
|
@spiritofradio,
James, I thought we're suppose to be experiencing a vinyl shortage since the big fire a year ago? I'm not complaining though my wallet may be. |
The Fixx "Phantoms"
never heard this lp sound so beautiful.... |
My Labor Day buy from Elusive Disc arrived:

The Flaming Lips "At War With the Mystics" |
@tgilb,
Don't know if you're interested but my friend mentioned that Eldorado is coming out on MFSL 45rpm. |
Emmylou Harris & the Nash Ramblers
"Ramble in Music City : The Lost Concert" |
.....wonderin' if Long Misty Days was influenced by Jimi's Star Spangled Banner performance at Woodstock? |
Bill Callahan "Sometimes I Wish I Were an Eagle" |

Welcome and happy Friday to you @avidlistener |
|
The Rosebuds "Birds Make Good Neighbors" |
@j_husker,
"Soular Energy" has been long known as an outstanding recording. I brought it up here several weeks ago, as I took my Pure Analog copy over to a friend's house to tweak his speaker/sub set-up. You need to find a copy. |
John Mayall & Friends
1st track has some kind of defect that causes major skipping. Put it on next track, All is fine. Will send it back. SQ is superb, though.
Same issue on side two. The first track on bother sides are very warped. |
Jim,
On side 4 now. This is such a wonderful record full of great musicianship. SQ is great but wish the SS was wider. It’s on Nonesuch, which has had some great records in the last few years. My copy is severely warped on lp 2 but my tired ole Sussurro tracks it like a champ. It’s not heavyweight vinyl, yet is quiet. Given this, Highly Recommended!! |
|
Robin Trower "Long Misty Days" |
Joel,
Actually never experienced this particular issue before but from experience with my ORB, I know some issues can't be fixed. Will return.
You were on track as it is such a great record, superbly recorded, involving great musicians. |
