| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs @larsman yes I agree. Can’t handle record noise anymore now that we are well into the digital age. I just got an ultrasonic cleaner and finally I can stand to listen to records more once again. | |
| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs It’s true that dirt and grime on a record results in less treble and detail and adds noise resulting in a “warmer” sound ie relatively more midrange. Take away all that mess and vinyl starts sounding more like digital and vice versa. If you want w... | |
| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs I ultrasound my records and play them just once in order to digitize them to my disk storage for playback from there. This is for real…..no joke. Records are delicate little creatures….just one of their faults. Would not want to subject them eve... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" “Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"” You don’t say! I guess that settles it. Didn’t Bach say that same thing about Elvis ? Schoenberg about Pink Floyd? | |

| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? No matter what the topic, it always comes down to a matter of trust as a result of credibility. Some have it and some do not. Trust is earned, not owned. Lots of shysters out there. Also lots of credible people worth trusting. You decide who is who. | |
| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' It’s pretty cool that DSOTM continues to sell and at least 3 generations of a given family might share a common appreciation for it. | |

The winning products for both sound and value get a lot of coverage in other places. Stereophile does at least ... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones I read McCartney is working with the Stones on an upcoming release. Phew….no need to choose anymore….. | |
| What is your experience with the Spin Clean? Thanks @jjbeason14 I’ll probably hold on to the spin clean as a backup if ever needed. I did add just a few drops of the cleaning solution that came with the spin clean to the hguru water. Didn’t try without it yet. I’m sure there are many record ... | |
| What is your experience with the Spin Clean? Cleaned my first 3 records today with the new Guru and it’s a big thumbs up. The records sounded phenomenal. These were 3 old releases from 60 years back . One was a used copy of “Music of Leroy Anderson Vol. 2 on Mercury Living Presence, a phenom... | |
| Is Magnepan still in business ? Hooray! Would hate to see Magnepan go. Just can’t happen. | |
| Which amp for my new Volti Razz Can’t go wrong with Rogue. | |
| I just discovered Van Der Graff Generator... My first VDGG album was Pawn Hearts in the $1.99 budget bin at Cheap Thrills Records in NJ circa 1978. It was way out there even for the college crowd. Man Erg is awesome. Lighthouse Keepers is a fun trip. VDGG and Peter Hamill was largely ignore... |
