@boxer12
sorry that I took awhile to get back to you. She’s the soloist and only voice. It’s classical but very different from other orchestral works. It’s something I suggest to music lovers that aren’t necessarily into classical music. It’s very dynamic. Heavy low end. Can be very emotional. It’s a great work. |
Slaw,
The "Central Reservation" CD is recorded well. (Heavenly records)
Apse / Climb up |
Thanks boxer. Gettin' ready to put on the just cleaned lp. |

Ray LaMontagne - Gossip in the Grain ( server ) |
Yes - "Fragile"
2016 Kevin Gray re-press. Really good...... |
@slaw i have Central Reservation on server up North - headed that way tommorow, can you bug me to give it a listen then ???? |
Don’t ask why it won’t play down here #%^*<>€€££££££ !!!!! |
Leonard Cohen - Live in London ( server ) |
I’ve owned this lp for years and was aware it had issues. It’s just that as my system’s noise floor has been lowered, those issues are now more pronounced.
I started going through my tonearm/cartridge set-up, not because I really felt it needed it, but to find out if upon completion, I’d be able to hear less distortion on this one record. It was slightly noticeable, but far from gone. Therefore the last resort "deep clean".
Still has the excessive (s) siblance but the majority of the distortion seems to now be removed.
Vinyl reproduction is sometimes very labor intensive.
I should add that not only is the distortion gone but the lp’s tonal quality is much better and therefore more enjoyable . |
@tomic601 ,
Gonna install the Sumiko?
BTW, I'm good at bugging people. |
Bonnie "Prince" Billy / Arise Therefore |
Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel |
Built to Spill "Live" dbl/lp/OP/Up Records 2000 |
..,..... brought out the old Fozgometer earlier to surprisingly good effect!
|
Captain Beefheart / Unconditionally guaranteed
Slaw, I've thought about buying one of those more than once... |
@slaw yes!!! I have so far worked out this as my starting point: Nakagoka MP-110, Sumiko/Maze FT-3 , SOTA Sapphire with your My Mat, Croft RIAA - RS into my normal ref system, Wire are Cardas Clear in arm and Nordost My Blue to phono and then to line stage.....
the 110 while musical and competent is the clear weak link |
Hey @big_greg,
A while back I was reading a thread about best ways to attach acoustic panels to walls that can be easily removed. Came upon your suggestion of Xfasten double-sided tape. Immediately bought some, just now using it. Very nice!
Works in perfectly on my Vicoustic diffussors. Seems strong enough to use on ceilings. |
@tomic601 ,
I look forward in the coming months to hearing of what you've accomplished. |
Captain Beefheart / Shiny beast |
Built to Spill "There is no Enemy".
This band has so much more output than I own but everything I'm hearing tonight is highly enjoyable. "Live" maybe their (creme-de-la-creme). The cover of "Cortez The Killer" is magnificent! |
|
Since lp1 of "Central Reservation" went so well, I deep cleaned lp2. It seems since there is so much blank space left on this lp, Classic should have done it at 45rpm? |
Glad to hear the ultrasonic cleaning helped Slaw
Grateful Dead / Reckoning |
|
For the record, my "deep clean" consists of a slower steam rotation and a longer visit in the Vibrato. IMO, the steam portion is necessary. |
Tom Petty "American Treasure" sides 11 & 12 |
Virgin Passages / Distance |
Trigger Hippy "Full Circle & Then Some"
Side one is a preview of what's to come, And it's all good! |
I found a new to me artist by accident recently. Sophia Phister. Just 400 lps. Got mine this week. She actually signs each one on the shrink wrap. Cool!
Up later. |
|
@slaw Yes, that xfasten tape is good stuff! I'm thinking about tackling the ceiling next and I don't think there would be any issues in using it there. |
Scorpions - Animal Magnetism |
Blind Faith 2019/Abbey Road/half speed |
SQ = EX on the Blind Faith! |
Ellton john - goodbuy yellow brick road

Finally cleaning the Doug Macleod lp. Thanks again! |
Rhiannon Giddens "Freedom Highway" |
@slaw +1 on Rhiannon
———————————-
Away from home streaming Colter Wall’s new album. It’s so simple and honest. Really liking it. Recommended. |
Thanks @spiritofradio,
I love "Songs of the Plains"!

Doug Macleod "There's a Time" RR/half-speed/200gr/45rpm |
@slaw touchdown is 6 pm, so give me to 9 pm !!!!!!! |
Hey Jim
Told you I was good at buggin’
I believe my work is done.
|
Puttin' on a freshly cleaned "Freedom Highway"... a superb record. |
Big Head Todd & The Monsters "Strategem" Giant Records/1994
Another very good band that fell through the cracks on their way to stardom. This was their only lp on vinyl, to my knowledge. I believe HP put it on his list.
Remember Giant Records?... from another thread? Yes, the same label that released "Two Against Nature"
Anyway, it's goin' in the Vibrato. |
Built to Spill "There is no Enemy"
Finishing up from yesterday. Both lps (were) warped. Never listened to lp2, up now. |
@slaw - Too bad Big Head Todd and the Monsters -"Sister Sweetly" was not released on vinyl. It is a fantastic album IMHO. |
Spiritofradio, Thank you for the answer! |
Jackson Browne "For Everyman" pp/
Definately gonna get a good cleaning later...... |
@reubent,
Remember the song "Crazy Mary"? |
I know the song "Crazy Mary" written by Victoria Williams and more famously covered by Pearl Jam. Is that the one? BTW, I love the Pearl Jam cover as recorded on the Sweet Relief album... |
