Finally snagged John Hartford’s Aereo-Plain. Been waiting for nice one one to ’fall through the cracks’ (bid on quite a few, but lost every time), but not to be, so spent the cash necessary. So, a bit pricey, but never owned it personally. Wish I had, ’back in the day’. Suppose to be a ’high’ VG+ vinyl condition. Hope so. Fingers crossed. |
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...... |

The Degritter arrived today. Much more fun than my Spin Clean. So far 24 cleaned and counting. listening while I “work” Roger Waters / The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking. The worst first. Cleans up nicely but won’t repair scratches. I’ll need to find a better copy Dusty Springfield / The Look of Love Marvin Gaye / What’s Going On Beck / Sea Change |
+1 for Queensryche. Saw them in my youth at the Lake Hills roller rink in Bellevue, WA. Glad I’ve no pictures to share, lol, J. J. Cale / Troubadour the Degritter really cleaned this up nicely. I thought I’d bought a bad copy. It’s very quiet now. Great f’n album, though I usually pick up the needle before “Cocaine”, I listened through tonight just because it sounded great. |
It’s been quite a while. Hope everyone is doing well. We went through a major remodel and the two channel room was full of furniture so no music there for about 5 months. During the process, I replaced my First Watt amp with an an Accuphase P-360. Connected everything tonight and it sounds great! Nice to have the room back.

@sourpuss123-Keep your Spin Clean around. When I have very dirty records, I give them a spin in the Spin Clean (with 3 drops of Tergikleen in the tank) prior to a dip in the Degritter. Keeps the filter much cleaner in the Degritter. You might find this article helpful. It covers the ultrasonic tank (the non-removable tank) cleaning plus vinegar flush recommended every 200~300 records depending on how dirty your records are to prevent mold growth-yuk! This information is not in the manual packed with the machine. The vinegar flush is mentioned on Degritter’s website. https://theaudiophileman.com/degritter-vinyl-record-cleaning-machine-ultrasonic-review/ While you’re at it, if you haven’t already read this: https://thevinylpress.com/app/uploads/2021/03/PAC-Vinyl-Records_2021-03-01_pdf.pdf It’s well worth reading particularly the section relating to surfactant usage in the Degritter. Enjoy! |
