| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse Not to mention Eweedhome, all the extra stuff!I don't know if you are a Cage fan, but one of the benefits of Cage on CD is ACTUAL silence where it is supposed to be silent. (Keep in mind, like many on this thread, I almost never defend digital). F... | |
| Tinny sound accompanying cello on recordings ? In regard to all this it is interesting to see how the historical shift from viol/gamba to cello/violin changes those idiosyncratic string resonances. It gives a totally different set of variables and 'extra' sounds.Mental strings versus gut strin... | |
| Tinny sound accompanying cello on recordings ? Guidocorona makes a good point about miking, which is one thing I love about recordings: the intimacy. Impossible to get that in a large hall all the way back.Listen to the way Jordi Savall's solo gamba is miked. Really close, and tons of exactly ... | |
| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse Paul Jacobs is my favorite for Schoenberg solo piano by far. I agree (as of now) I prefer the CD because of the noise. It is actually a great sounding CD beyond just the absence of noise. Even with Glenn Gould I am finding I would rather listen to... | |
| Tinny sound accompanying cello on recordings ? Dude, listen carefully to a live cello. Those strings make all kinds of vibratory resonances and some are very very subtle. The fact that your gear is picking it up is a good thing. The complexities of the sound of such an instrument are staggerin... | |

| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse Miner42: You use MoFi enzyme first, and then MoFi rinse, and nothing in between? I was interested by the statement above that an alcohol stage to denature the enzymes is helpful. What do you think of that? | |
| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse Tbg: if I am not mistaken, isn't the Walker step 4 just purified water? | |

| Vinyl on the Radio Can you still hear the FM compression? I understand that can be eliminated by conscientious stations (who want to). | |

| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse For the record (no pun) I tried MoFi enzyme on quite a few LPs since I bought it, and I must say, so far, I am not impressed at all. I might even prefer the cheap VPI fluid I got with my machine.Having said that, maybe the 'detergent based' stuff ... | |
| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse Absolutely no consensus here! | |
| Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments Jppenn: the actions of a neurotic primadonna under the pretense of genius. What a crock. Yeah, I know, he is a good pianist. So what. Like we never had one before?But to hell with him and that tired old act. He squats on the pot just like the rest... |
