| New In 2021 Los Lobos, a double-LP album of their new recordings of favorite old songs, some really interesting choices. Oughta be great! | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Oh sure @reubent. He was coming up around the same time as Matthew Sweet and the other better young singer/songwriters of the early-to-mid 90’s, but more rootsy, less Pop. I liked him pretty well, but for some reason not enough to have anything by... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Good point @totem395. Let me point out that a Vevor brand 40kHz tank can now be had for just under a hundred bucks. That, combined with the VinylStack LP spinner (recommended by @slaw, who is, as always, right on the mark ;-), is only about $170 m... | |
| Favorite Guitar Solo This topic was been raised many times before, and I have before nominated the following examples. For you who have seen them, I apologize, but I think it’s important to counter the sometimes-technically superior examples posited by others (just my... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Have ya'll heard about the HumminGuru ultrasonic? Looks to be a simplified, budget version of the Degritter, supposedly available later in the year for around $400. | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? I went with the 6pc carton from Buy Insulation Products.com. Bought a 2’ x 4’ piece of birch ply, cut it into four equal pieces 6" wide, and made a 4’ x 4’ x 6" frame. The six 2’ x 4’ x 2" OC703 panels perfectly fill the frame: two side-by-side, t... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's.

(A & M).... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @loomisjohnson: I guess I just kind of relegated Twilley to the past, for years not going out of my way to see what he was up to. Starting out with such a killer album (Sincerely) sure established a high standard for him to live up to. It would be... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? Unfortunately, the only OC dealer in my area who was sells the 703 panels does so by the square ft., not by the carton. He quoted me $2.86/sq.ft., six of the 2’ x 4’ panels (48 sq.ft.) then coming in at $137.28! | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? There is an online seller named Buy Insulation Products.com. They sell the 6 pack of 2" OC 703 for $105.50 with free shipping. Cheapest I've found. | |
| Analogue Productions announces May 21st release of ultimate Kind Of Blue LP Addendum: I just learned that when Bernie Grundman did the speed-corrected new mix and remaster of Kind Of Blue for Classic Records in 1997, he ran the 3-track 1/2" master tape right into the mastering console, bypassing the normal step of mixing ... | |
| Custom plinth I'm a fan on mahogany. I used to own a fair number of pieces of old English furniture covered in that wood. One of my Gretsch drumsets is finished in old-growth Brazilian walnut, no longer available. | |
| TONE @edcyn: For voice recording, the Shure SM58 (or 57) is not a good choice of microphone. Those mics have a presence peak deliberately engineered in, to make vocals cut through the sound of instruments coming out of a PA system.The SM57 is very popu... | |
| Analogue Productions announces May 21st release of ultimate Kind Of Blue LP @jafant: It was about two hours long, Mike Hobson, Bernie Grundman, and the plant manager at the QRP pressing facility doing most of the talking. In part of the show, there is a camera on the QRP employee actually running the manual LP pressing ma... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. And then there's Jerry Lee Lewis, the last man standing! Drinks like a fish, smokes like a chimney, and he has outlived all his contemporaries. |
