| My journey to improved vinyl performance-a new cleaning protocol millercarbon-my formula is a bit more simplistic.

| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" My last post may be not applicable. I forgot the discussion revolved around a non-lp format. I think the vinyl sounds great. | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" Wow. You guys are a tough crowd-comparing the latest outing from a 72 year old artist to one of the all time classic albums, Abraxis! I think we could compare the vast majority of albums released by most artists in the last 2 decades to Abraxis ... | |

| Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review jafreeman-Yes, I'm sadly aware of what's happened to Krissy. It's a real pickle as she put it. I still have plenty of TC having just ordering it and the gate 3 weeks ago. I will for sure paste all new electrical connections but will hold off pas... | |
