| Classical Music for Aficionados @scott_w @terry9 That Gorecki #3 is very powerful, thank you (I bought the soundtrack Terry mentioned, but would be interested if there are other performances on vinyl).Though not similar in style, but theme is the Kol Nidre on this famous old war... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I bought a London Treasury series copy of this record when I was a teenager, and still listen to the recording, though I have accumulated a variety of different copies, I still do not own the first Decca. But, in its various incarnations, it is a ... | |
| CleanerVinyl-Ultrasonic record cleaner @slaw- Hi, Slaw. I haven't really experimented with steaming. I know you have. Is there a point where the vapor condenses to hot water on the record surface? Is there a particular steamer that you prefer? I remember the threads touting it as a goo... | |
| CleanerVinyl-Ultrasonic record cleaner @hiphile- I haven’t used the GemDandy, though George Merrill has a long well deserved reputation in analog. The main thing that would concern me about his inexpensive approach is that you are apparently using tap water, filled with minerals, and a... | |
| CleanerVinyl-Ultrasonic record cleaner I have been using ultrasonic plus point nozzle for a number of years now- had the AD, and still have the KL, which I use along with a big Monks (Omni). I think the combination is synergistic - and the results of using both methods - US and vacuum-... | |
| Vinyl(the other kind) @Schubert- I'll take a stab though I'm not an acoustician. It would seem to me that vertical blinds would break up the sound, and you could vary the effect by how they are angled, but the backdrop still being glass would remain an issue. I think p... | |
| Willie Nelson - a couple of questions please He is in the Agriculture Hall of Fame for his work on Farm Aid, though. Lot’s of greats not in the RRHOF. Willie is god here in Austin. | |
| Whats in your second system? Old Quad ESLs (restored), Quad II amps (restored, with GEC KT 66s), McI MX110z preamp/tuner and SP10 Technics, restored. All of the equipment, save for the McI, has been with me for decades, the ESLs back to 1973. | |
| Can't we all just get along? @crazyeddy- You did what any sane person would have done after a day like that- logged on to the Internet. :) Glad to hear all is OK. | |
| Are You Experienced? The French Barclay box from the ’70s contains a mono mix of AYE, along with Axis and Electric Ladyland (the latter two in stereo). According to a number of people who have compared these copies to the original UK Track, the early Barclay copy of A... | |
| Can't we all just get along? I think it is largely a function of the Internet. In my career, now retired, I dealt with a lot of hackers and Internet trolls. Many were these meek individuals in person, but had an entirely different persona behind a keyboard.There is also an in... | |
| My rant; we don't know what we don't know I think you are dealing with a fairly sophisticated, and somewhat skeptical, if not cynical, lot here; sure, there are postings proclaiming X is a life-changer, but I doubt that many here buy based on a posting. The anecdotal experience of many, t... | |
| VPI 16.5 Cleaning Machine - Drying Question When I used a VPI with multi step fluids, I was unsparing in the amount of liquid I used; I suspect the problem is, as @sevs alluded to, the position of the vacuum tube in the upright post. Look up the VPI instructions and experiment a bit; the va... | |
| Stacked Quad Questions @peter_s - re amp power, when I got this pair of Quads in 1973 I eventually ran them with an ARC Dual 75a (which was brand spanking new though very old school by today’s standards- still have the amp). But now, I’m running mine, restored, with a p... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Do you live in an area where the changes in season affect relative humidity? |
