| Appalachian Spring The Reference Recordings LP is a great recording of the original chamber orchestra scoring of Appalachian Spring (13 instruments). I've come back to it regularly over the years. For a full orchestra performance, The Bernstein/NYP on Columbia is ex... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @nkonor - thank you! And thanks for sharing some of your experience with the AD and adding the VPI rinse step. I really enjoy getting data points from other people's experiences. | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @sbank - here's an option for a pump from Amazon that several people have reported good success with. Nice thing is that is it fully self-contained and already has 3/8" tubing barbs.https://www.amazon.com/attwood-6126-7-Attwood-Potable-Water/dp/B... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @sbank , congratulations on diving into the pool (er, tank). For something to spin your records while using that vacuum wand, I like your idea of using a vintage turntable with 16rpm speed. But you can probably change the ratios of any belt drive... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @cedar , thanks for the additional information. I like your approach of listening to the results and stopping when you don't hear further improvement. Trust your ears! I'll be interested to see how Louis prices his new 80KHz tank to see if I can c... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Debussy, Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp - The Carter Chamber Ensemble - Sound Storage Recording Co SSR 2020 (stunningly realistic sound quality!)Joni Mitchell - Ladies of the Canyon - Rhino reissue | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? On the turntable now are the Schubert Piano Trios with the Beaux Arts Trio on a very nice Speakers Corner reissue of Philips 835393/4 AY. Very nice performance, well recorded, highly recommended. | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Cedar, thanks for contributing to the conversation! The more we share experiences, the more we each learn. And I really appreciate your contribution.It is helpful to get some reports of actual experience comparing results with the different freque... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Oh, I take the "for life" literally. I’ve had my Atma-Sphere MA-2 power amps for 15 years and I expect them to stay a part of my system for as long as I have an audio system at this level. Someday I may downsize and no longer have a dedicated list... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback terry9: May I suggest cleaning 30 previously cleaned records in new chemistry, under the new regimen? Then you will be able to see how much extra grunge comes off, as well as hear it. You may find that it's not worth the trouble - but I sure did... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback Thanks, Terry. I'll have to try opening up the spacing to 1.5" or more on my 40Khz tank and see what I hear with some experimentation on this topic. I can't try out a 60 or 80Khz tank, but I can play with the spacing for the tank I have. | |

| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback @terry9 I followed up with Harry Weisfeld on your question about the records spacing he was using when he compared cleaning results in both a 40Khz and a 60Khz USC. He replied that he used 1" spacing. He has a Vinyl Stack Spin Kit, so I’m assuming... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback ochremoon : ...I may test the waters with a 40KHz machine, doing one record at a time and see how it compares with the vacuum machine I currently use.@ochremoon - I believe you will find the experience rewarding and I hope you will come back and s... | |
| Rushton's DIY approach to ultrasonic record cleaning published by Positive Feedback bcowen: And reducing or eliminating noise is only one of the positives the US brings to the table. There's more harmonic information, low level detail that in some cases was inaudible before, more pristine high treble notes, etc. More music, q... |
