| Anyone Attend RMAF? So, given that these shows often involve playing timeworn warhorses, I had a business idea. You know that business that will take your ashes and mold them into a vinyl record? My recollection is that they inscribe goth, synth, dark music of unknow... | |
| Interesting project started by Michael Fremer Mapman- fair point. I think there is a tendency for people to say: digital master= sucks. I'm more of an early/original pressing (which country, which plant, etc) kinda guy, but given that many remasters today are from digital files (not talking a... | |
| Interesting project started by Michael Fremer Inna, really?Even assuming that there are no mechanical rights to pay, he still needs a master use license, needs somebody to do the mastering, has to pay a pressing plant to manufacture, and deal with getting the thing packaged and distributed. W... | |
| Cleaning flood damaged vinyls Dave and i compared notes briefly by phone- and since he is new to the 'Gon, his posts lag, b/c they have to be moderated. The issue with the KL is simply that KL (per Tim, the guy I think most customers deal w/ at the US company) has advised that... | |
| Cleaning flood damaged vinyls Dave you are a good guy for giving all that detail. I have come to the conclusion that there is no 'one way' and that with access to a variety of machines, fluids, etc, I used combined approaches. Some records just require more work than others de... | |
| Cleaning flood damaged vinyls Miner- for what it's worth, I have owned both. I would actually recommend a DIY ultrasonic and a point nozzle vacuum system. My best results have been obtained with one or another ultrasonic, after pre-cleaning, but rather than using fan dry, vacu... | |
| Cleaning flood damaged vinyls A couple (actually five) thoughts:1. Having the insurance company pay to have the mold damaged records cleaned will not return them to their full value as CZ noted above. If the insurance company would treat them as a total loss and you could be c... | |
| Admittedly a bit lost Don't we often write for two reasons, at least? One to help and another to give voice to our views? Sometimes, these threads have a life even after the OP has taken a powder.... | |
| Admittedly a bit lost Nice post there, Duke! | |
| Admittedly a bit lost You are likely to get all kinds of suggestions regarding equipment, brands and the like- I'm less inclined to offer that, and to suggest some methods to approach this. First, be careful what you wish for- low bass, particularly of the synth variet... | |
| TheVinylPress.com The recent exploration of Canned Heat on TheVinylPress generated some real enthusiasm among readers, one of whom turned out to be Rebecca Davis, the author of “Blind Owl Blues,” an authoritative biography of Alan Wilson. Several readers had asked ... | |
| Cadillac of Turntables? String- thanks, i did see something about that in the news and didn't really pay any attention. Appreciate the correction. Taters- dunno. The price when I had a late run Diabo 6.0 (which was sort of the end of the trail, after the Audi purchase of... | |
| Cadillac of Turntables? Although I haven't owned an American car since the '60s, I gather that the newish Caddies are OK, I think you can get one with a Corvette engine and possibly a stick. Ferraris are expensive to maintain in part b/c the engine timing belt service re... | |
| Cadillac of Turntables? It would need tail fins, twilight 'sentinel' and a lot of chrome. Also must weigh a few tons and have low trade-in value. Classic Caddy from the late '50s to mid-'60s. Love 'em, but not for turntables. What was it Don Delilo said: Rolls-Royce, the... | |
