| Favorite audiophile-quality cover bands ... The only one I’m aware of is the album on Telarc by the Beach Boys/Jan & Dean tribute/cover band named Papa Doo Run Run. They are from my hometown of Cupertino, California, and their original drummer---Jim Shippey---was a coupla years ahead of... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Ha! I quite agree @tgilb. But I DID kinda misuse the term "old" in the original post. People took that as meaning old as in LP's originally released years ago, so the request for clarification as to what qualifies as old is justified. I actually m... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. @slaw, you question has made me realize that I did not make my qualifier of "old" LP’s for the thread clear in not just definition, but also intent.We all buy basically three "kinds" of LP’s:1- New releases in still-sealed shrink wrap (or the thic... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Damn @slaw, my copy of Lucinda's s/t Rough Trade LP shows light through it as well! I had never noticed that before.I have her Good Souls Better Angels album in the limited edition translucent/frosty white vinyl pressing. The hype sticker reads "N... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Thanks @sryeager. I guess I’ll get a cheap tank to use until the Vibrato is back in production. Vevor makes a 6L that runs at 50kHz, priced at only $118 including shipping.Since I don’t care about the drying function built into the Degritter (I wo... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. @slaw: I use the term in reference to used records, not the music itself.But your question is an interesting one. In a recent Daily Audiophilic Show, Steve Guttenberg asked his guest---a dealer in vintage hi-fi equipment---his definition of vintag... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Thanks for the title @reubent, I’m definitely going to look for a copy. He was one of the new guys all the young singer/songwriters I knew back then were talking about and listening to. I don’t remember Pete being as Rock ’n’ Roll at Dwight and To... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning Well fellas, I have some good news, and I have some bad news.Last night I emailed the Vinyl Stack people, asking if the out-of-stock single-disc hand-held model would again be available at some point in the future. I figured it would be cool to ha... | |
| 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. |
