overwhelmed by record rituals
Whart: Thanks for the involved post! It really shows how some, (Stringreen), see/hear things in a very different light. By the way, Doobie Brother's lps sound absolutely awesome! They are some of the best, consistently recorded lps from the analog...

Stringreen's comment reflects, IMO, a lover of music who doesn't want to spend the time necessary in order to get better sound and preserve the medium that gives him/us better sound. Really, I couldn't believe that statement!

... (more food for thought).. would lead shot encapsulated in epoxy sound different from stainless steel shot encapsulated in the same epoxy in a similar project? The point being, as you eluded to, that the epoxy is keeping the encapsulated materi...

Richardkrebs: Regarding the "rapid dissipation of energy", in the above test that you described, I have to wonder if in fact it was that or possibly the lead blocking/trapping/redirecting any resonance? Having just said that, I'll ask myself... Wh...

Richardkrebs: I think that maybe a perfect example of what you are saying and what I've experienced, can be found in the Walker tt and associated stand. The stand, from my memory, included lead as a factor. This was most likely used as a necessity...

Richardkrebs: Your observation is interesting, and more food for thought. I know from my experiments in using lead shot in various ways over the years that in does work to a certain extent, but one needs to be careful in the amount used while cons...

I tried to make a difference, no one wants to listen. Good luck to all of you! I'm becoming tired of trying.

I've got the time, I've got the will, I've got the collection, I've got the (personal) experience,I've got nothing to lose. (Except maybe that most here seem to want to have other's experience as their reference! I have my own experience as my ref...

Frankly, I'd love to have MF over for at least one day, just to listen. My only concern/question would be in the nature of "best sounding pressings". That's all. I really think he'd be impressed.

Isochriism: Again, everyone is really not understanding the point I keep making. Whart: Since you chose to say that another member gave me a pass on the "El Camino", I'd like to hear your review of the lp that started it all... Ric Ocasek "This Si...

Whart: If by your comment earlier, RE: "Frogman did me a soild", should mean I need another member to defend me in any way, that needs to be squashed right now! It seems to me, that when I ask the important/relevant questions, there's no response....
