| My journey to improved vinyl performance-a new cleaning protocol three_easy_payments As they say "better living through chemistry" Lol. For me, the improvement easily outweighs the hassle factor for selected lps. I think of this as a non-physical tweak to the system that in my hands really seems to work wel... | |
| My journey to improved vinyl performance-a new cleaning protocol millercarbon-the theory behind adding the etoh to the water is that it lowers the surface tension of the water, allowing it to get deeper into the grooves, which makes sense | |
| My journey to improved vinyl performance-a new cleaning protocol millercarbon-my formula is a bit more simplistic.

The issue became apparent when I upgraded my Nottingham Ace Space to the heavy platter configuration which is a heavier and thicker platter which sits on top o... | |
| Now I get it... Congratulations on your sonic breakthrough!! In my experience the most common reason for a recording to sound bad is that it is not a first pressing. That is not to say that bad recordings don't exist-there are a lot of them. But, the least crum... | |
| Most amusing album or song titles Captain Beefhart album-Lick my decals off, baby Electric Aunt Jemima-the FugsAtomic bitchwax s/t album | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world A somewhat obscure album that is seldom mentioned. Joe Beck's album titled Beck. I bought this as a cutout in the 70s and it is one of the best finds ever. It was quickly re released as Beck and Sanborn. The interplay between Beck's guitar and S... | |

| 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 ... | |
