@boxer12,
I happened to glance over at the other music thread and noticed where your moniker originated. I had wondered, but I now get it. I was once a motorcycle dude. Mostly raced motocross back in the day where it was only two-stroke bikes. Roger Decoster was my hero then.

@reubent ,
I forgot about Bultaco & Puch. I’ve owned/or ridden Hodaka & Can Am. My remembrance is Puch was more of a trail bike/trials bike.
Can-Am came later.
Hodaka 90, 100, 125 , Wombat, Combat Wombat. Hodaka was a trail bike.
Don’t forget CZ.

@6t5-gto,
I get it brother! One of my riding friends had a Can-Am 370, Wow! That thing was scary!
"Can’t Buy a Thrill" I’d like to find a great sounding pressing.

Sade "Diamond Life" OP.
She is sounding Soooo good tonight, why not?
|
@6t5-gto,
While my BW is a 180gr, I believe I bought around 15 years ago. My memory is that it was pressed by Scorpio. There is no inner jacket.

Brandi Carlile "by the way, I forgive you". There was some discussion over this lp over the past week. I decided to put it on for another listen after a nice system upgrade.

@boxer12,
I quit road bikes after an 11 year old boy driving a farm tractor cut in front of me. My head hit the front blade. I was riding a Kawasaki 500/3cylinder/2 stroke.
What was interesting about the Huskys was they came in a CR (close ratio), and a WR (wide ratio) transmission...(or gearing) depending on what kind of racing/riding you preferred. Remember OSSA, MAACO, Penton, etc...?
|
Well, I find it interesting that several of us music guys also have motorcycle history. |
Welcome @mustbethemusic ! |
The BC lp is compressed but not so much that I can't enjoy and make out subtle details. |
Gillian Welch "Soul Journey" OMG! |
Divine Fits "A Thing Called Divine Fits" |
|
|
Bob Seger "Beautiful Loser" orange label/Capitol |
|

The Decemberists "The King is Dead" |

David Gilmour "On An Island" OP/SQ=EX |
OK....time to make a change....
Marty Stuart "Way Out West"
|
AC/DC "'74 Jailbreak" from the box !!!!! |
Hi @big_greg,
I love JW. However, his label "Third Man Records" has not given us the best sound on vinyl. Very disappointing!
That is what keeps me from buying his stuff.
|
@big_greg,
I appreciated your post very much.
……………………..
AC/DC "High Voltage" from the box !!!!
|
Finishing up Steve Earle "Townes" sides 3 & 4. |
Mark Knopfler "Shangri-La" OP |
Kasey Musgraves "Golden Hour"⁹ |
|
Finished "Townes". Wonderful, love it. |
The War on Drugs "Live Drugs"
I love this band!
|
@big_greg,
My MFSL Abandoned Lunchoenette is one of my favorite records. SQ=Awesome!
Bruce Springsteen "High Hopes"
|
Donald Fagan "The Nightfly" Japan |
Squirrel Nut Zippers "Perennial Favorites" |
Nikki Sudden & The Jacobites "Texas" |
Ric Ocasek "This Side Of Paradise" a very good (solo) lp by Ric, even though most of The Cars bandmembers helped out. It was on my tt quite a bit in the late 80s. |
@uberwaltz,
I should have mentioned it earlier when I inquired about your TT motor power supply....it may be something you'd want to check on once in a while...Kevin @ K&K Audio has had a motor controller under development for a few years now, his personal TT is a Nottingham.
|
Neko Case "Hell-On" a great album. |
@big_greg,
My personal experience on Discogs has sadly been mostly negative. I've had better luck on ebay.
|
Janis Joplin "I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama!". My copy is Speakers Corner but as good as it sounds, my suspicion is most copies will sound VG. I give the SP a solid 10!
If you have a home alarm w/ glass breakage sensors, turn them off.

Soldering tiny phono wires is a skill my friend.
Another aspect is, as you are figuring out, more solder has a negative effect on SQ. |
"Reunions" is cleaned and flat,
First impression... this maybe a great record for a (hi-fi) dbl record remater? Lots of songs on one disc? |
Carly Simon "No Secrets" WLP
Fun fact... she and James once lived in the same murder house as Nichole and "The Juice".
Well, maybe not so fun. |
Rising Appalachia "Wider Circles" |
"sometimes a pony gets depressed" |
@boxer12,
No brother, Jason Isbell.
As you know, Jason Molina passed a few years ago. |

Alison Krauss & Union Station "Paper Airplane" |
