@boxer12, I think I moved 7 times between college and now. Put them away and always brought them with me. Wasn't until I had a decent system up and running that did I think about them again. Bought a basic Sony deck at a Goodwill and realized how much I loved those tapes. So wonderful. Not only do they sound better than they did in college (Teac system at the time), they also rekindled that feeling. Anyways to keep in the turntable frame of mind, listening to GD Cornell 77 on vinyl. Incredible show. Just imagine being there. I would have been 9 yo so not possible at that time in my life. Probably the "Holy Grail" of GD shows. I remember in college that everyone was always trying to find the best cassette recording of that show. |

Jean Ritchie – High Hills And Mountains (Greenhays Recordings 1979) Love this NM album. Nice recording. English McShee/Denny vocals meets Kentucky-Irish country replete with barndance banjo and mournful fiddle ballads. Recommended if this is your thing. Here you go. |
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............. |
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! |
@slaw Jerry Jeff Walker met a man in jail who used the name Bojangles (as many black men who danced were known by.) Inspired him to write the song. I remember where I heard the other version. Check out this treat. https://youtu.be/5QdWpab_kFg |
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. |
