Steve,
Thanks for sharing your experience with PPT & the wall outlets. I will give that a try
Puffball,
I can’t compare the Pere Ubu FIRE releases to the originals (I don’t own the originals), but I have a number of the FIRE reissues & have not been disappointed at all with SQ.
Kiln / Astral welder

Got time for one more....
The Guess Who "Live At The Paramount" RCA 1972 (recorded 22 May 1972 in Seattle)
One of those god awful Dynaflex discs that have built in warp no matter how carefully they’re stored and totally don’t match the VTA of the cartridge because they are so thin.
But hey, Runnin’ Back to Saskatoon still sounds great.
@boxer12 thanks Tim. Maybe I'll get one and compare with the original.

Agreed. Thanks for reassuring me about the Fire reissues Tim. The glass breaking in Sentimental Journey on Modern Dance is incredible. As example.
Not sure whatever happened to some of my Ubu originals, so cannot compare today, but Fire has done a nice job with these reissues regardless.

Eno - Another Green World. Island reissue, unsure date, probably 1978/79. Originally 1975.
|
Did a lot of work in the listening room today, and got to spin quite a bit of vinyl:
Floyd-Momentary Lapse 2021 45rpm RE
Miles-Round About Midnight 2021 Speakers Corner
The Band-The Band 2015 RE
Coleman Hawkins-And Confreres 2012 45rpm AP
Mounted the Opus3 on the Linn to see how that pairs with the new MA352. The low freq are so much better with that cart than the vm740 I have been listening to, but it gives up just a scoche in detail.
|
Kiln / Twinewheel
This band is a weird mix of Funk, Psychedelic, & Electronica, all mixed into one. Love it
|
caught some live music today, reflecting shell / building..outdoor seating..
Evansong - Dene Davidson Quintet
ah man....lightly amplified but oh so tasty...
|

Colter Wall - Songs of the Plains - this is a reference album to me, incredibly well recorded and just another great one from this young genius
Modern Jazz Quartet - Fontessa - Speakers Corner
Henry Mancini - Pink Panther - Speakers Corner
Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger - Impex - this is in my top 3 records in my collection. Excellent beyond belief
Son Volt - Trace
AC/DC - Back in Black - RL pressing
Kenny Burrell - Midnight Blue - AP 45rpm

Forgot
Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express - it fits right in!

Degritter envy, is it wrong ?

Brian Eno & David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts. Sire 1981
Have to wonder how much influence this album had in the formation of Dead Can Dance 3 years later

Talking Heads - Fear of Music. Sire 1979

John Miles / Zaragon

Stevie Ray Vaughan "The Sky Is Falling"

Joan Armatrading "Show Some Emotion" Played this the other day, had to listen to it again. Just such a wonderful album, and great SQ.
|
|
|
Funny Spencer, I remember that.
|
+1 bslon Gerry Rafferty/Night Owl. IMO it is a Top 50 pop/rock recording of the 1970"s. Is it as good as City To City? Yes but I rate City To City a few notches higher due to the pop masterpiece "Baker Street".
|
@slaw
Jim, your post, made me realize my lack of the RSD lps...
Steve, did the link I sent you arrive too late?

Like a contagion. You cannot be blamed.
|
Can anybody recommend a fairly accessible contact cleaner/enhancer?
|
The Caig stuff is good. Many people use alcohol. There is a product call Stabilant that has had several on A'gon recommend it. Available on Amazon.
|
|
Kontak cleaner fluid. Purchase from The Cable Company($45). Leaves little to no residue when cleaning cables.
|
@dayglow I totally agree on those Rafferty albums. Those are both like comfort food to my ears, I usually listen to both sides back to back. I can’t say that for too many records in my collection.
|
For contact cleaning I use a cleaning cloth supplied from Audioquest. They have one specifically for silver contacts and one for all other metals (typically, copper or gold). Zero residue as there is no solution. I prefer not using a solution.

+1 mammothguy54, and because the gloves are white you can see what crud they took off.
