What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean?
Pitch the LP and go on to the next one. (That is, unless you are very young and have absolute confidence of a very long life ahead.)

Pass labs X600
I do hope “times are a-changing.” Although, at my age, I pray for “a little bit more time” whether changed or unchanged.It's been my experience that great products stand the test of time. (Kind-a like this “vinyl thing” huh?) Whether Pass Labs tak...

Blown away by Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1
I second the Gilels/Ormandy. The CD is, ok, a good British pressing of the LP is better. The American pressing, as always with Columbias of that era, is barely passable.However, the performance, the performance, the performance! All three were “on... 
Living Stereo SACD's are a comin
I think SACD may have a future. I've bought six of them, so far. However, please wake me up when more than “the usual suspects” are available and the prices on new releases are less than a full tank of high-octane gas.
