80 here, glad to be quarentined today.
Took a brief Food Lion run...they now have Plexiglas guards between the customer/employee. Was sweating beads before I returned. 80 degrees, feel sorry for Uber. |
Don't know if basements are allowed in Florida, seems it would be a perfect listening environment there? |
Just US cleaned Yes "Fragile" MFSL UD1S/45rpm/dbl lp. I’ve had it for a few weeks and it kind of got lost in the shuffle. I guess this makes me a music snob.
I’m a big proponent of pre-steaming and have done so for years with audible positive results. Another upside for me is that I have intimate visual knowledge of just exactly what is on the record ( done under LED lighting). For the first time in years, I chose not to pre-steam this particular record as it looks SO clean.
I guess in addition to being a music snob I’m also a lp cleaning nerd.

@uberwaltz,
How do you like the Cadenza Black?
I own the Cadenza Mono, got about 150 hours on it. Want to mount it soon. I've been saying that for a long time though. After I bought the Sussurro MkII l haven't had the desire to change carts. |

Yes basements are allowed in Florida, we call them swimming pools!.
😁😁😁😁
With such a low water table most attempts at going below ground just end up a water problem.
And yes 96 is no fun at all but worst part it's not even April yet!
I should be where my daughter is, Hawaii, nearly 73 to 75 year round, perfect.
And I LOVE the Cadenza Black but I had to take it off.
Simply because it is on loan and do not want to add to the hours on it.
It would be nice to have for sure though! |
OK guys, I did all of the pre-flight checks...
US cleaning
optimized anti-skate @SRA yesterday
Cleaned stylus
optimized speed with my Time-Line
just noticed lp (one) is ever-so-slightly dished though...to be remedied later...
I hope my excitement for "Fragile" is met. |
Mini-review of "Fragile" MFSL UD1S 45rpm
To start, my only good reference is my EU/Atlantic pressing with the normal orange/white strip/ green label. Not the more prized plum/orange label.
Upon first listen to side one, nothing really jumped out at me. Having said this, nothing was wrong at all. ( You know how expectations can interfere with reality?)
Going forward, the music seems to just draw me in. I think this lp just gets incrementally better from start to finish. I think this is what early analog was all about: it has so much soul and frankly, soothes the soul. The louder the better.
There's much more "meat on the bones" here. I've read some negative members' comments and my feeling is they are too closely referring to the current state of recording quality. I feel sad that they cannot tell a difference. I have found that after listening to current recordings, it's good to go back in time to real analog recordings to get and keep a sense of "rightness".
Glad I bought it, own it!
Oh, and BTW, it's pressed on center! |
Excellent review Slaw!
Not sure exactly what my copy of Fragile is besides pretty old and rather worn.
Still plays well to my ears though.
Right now.
Stratosfear .... Tangerine Dream.
With the Karat Ruby back in play. |
Put on The Sadie's lp, from last weekend again. The difference from going from a '70s analog recording to a current recording is striking!
This is what I'm trying to convey above....we all need a reality check every once in a while! |
Grant Lee Buffalo "Mighty Joe Moon"
Hope you all own his lps. |

My reality check is Progency: Highlights from 72 by Yes.
At times it sounds like it was recorded in mono, very very analog .
Everything is just right, nothing jumps out, just clear and correct.
A great set IMHO. |

I upped my us clean time to 40 minutes at 43 degrees.
First one fresh from the tank sounds remarkably good.
Thanks!

Uber,
Great! Remember at least 2" apart. |
As some US cleaning posters seem as their priority,( cleaning the maximum lps at once) is not a great way of optimizing the positive effects of US cleaning. The very cleaning method they invested in isn’t being used to it’s maximum potential.
This is Vinyl Playback people! It requires the very best an end-user can offer. |

Forgot to mention.. have been listening to Grant Lee Buffalo "Fuzzy" MOV
Well back to work tomorrow. |

Florida.... nice place to visit, wouldn't want to live there. |

Slaw.
My rotisserie is set up for 5 albums.
This gave a space less than 1" apart.
I decreased to 3 albums which gave a space of approx 1&1/3" apart.
Recently I reduced to just 2 albums on it which gives just over 2" between them.
I'm getting there brother!
