| What is your record cleaning regimen? @saulh Ultrasonic cleaner. Distilled water with a very small amount of cleaner solution and a small amount of Kodak Photo-Flo 200. This is very important as it lets the water sheet off and dry without deposits. I let the discs dry completely sta... | |
| The vanishing stereo rack When they can drag this stuff from my cold dead hands. 🤣 | |
| Where do you buy your vinyl? Can't go wrong with Amazon. Their no hassle return policy is so important. The number of LP's I have had to return is crazy. Regardless of the manufacturer, the return rate is running 20%. At the cost of LPs today, only perfection is acceptable. | |
| I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd I get all the votes for Kind of Blue. Groundbreaking record and all that, but honestly, it's not my favorite Miles. To my ears he took a giant leap forward with In A Silent Way, and I find that LP much more interesting to listen to. Having said... | |
| Scratch - The Crusaders I also dicovered the Crusaders with the Chain Reaction LP. Have a dozen or more of thier discs in my collection. Particulary fond of the opening tract on Rural Renewal (2003, Eric Clapton on acoustic guitar). Was just listening to Larry Carlton... | |
| Politics and Music Elvis Costello’s song Shipbuilding is a fabulous anti war song. Always surprised at how many people miss that. somebody said that someone got filled in for saying that people get killed in the result of their ship building..... Goes to show... | |
| Hot Rats Lucky to have seen him three times in concert. Was listening to Brunt Weeny Sandwich just a couple weeks back. One of my all time favorites of his. Too many great works to pick just one. | |
| Is this a scam? @scottwsmith 100% scam. Just Google 10 biggest PayPal scams. All the info is right there. | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @cleeds Since the OP simply stated he was running two new lines and did not mention any special conditions, I have assumed this is standard in home/wall wiring. Yes there may be other considerations if this not the case. I always assume the loc... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? 12/2 NM Copper Wire. Available at any DIY store. All you will ever need to meet code and run 20 Amps. Go to 10/2 if it makes you feel good, even though there is probably zero benefit. You system can only draw so much current and the 12... | |
| Now using Spin Clean cloths for drying... The stuff in the grooves is the problem. Do you not think using a brush on the surface of your record is going to be pushing micro size particles back into the grooves? Same with a cloth laying on the surface of the record? Happy to be shown th... | |
| Now using Spin Clean cloths for drying... I use an ultrasonic record cleaner with distilled water, a bit of Spin Clean washing fluid and a little Kodak Photo-Flo 200 in the tank. Once the records are cleaned, I simply leave them on the spindle in a vertical position to dry for about 30 m... | |
| Soundstage and image height, does it exist? I run Acoustic Zen Crescendo speakers. Transmission line design. There is clearly the impression of height in the soundstage. Sometimes it's actually annoying to hear an instrument that appears to be several feet above the rest of the band. I p... |
