Earthworks has some mold issues 😭  

 

Now on to Allan Holdsworth road games

 

Great album to listen to - love my copy 👌

 

————————

The best way to manually clean records is a mix of 

Alchohol or Clear methylated spirits - up to 25%

Window cleaner - up to 10% 

Dishwashing detergent - up to 5 drops per 500 mls 

Distilled water 

Mixed in a spray bottle 

 

Clean record grooves using the mix medium above with either 

White Magic sponge 

Paint Edge / trim applicator 

Then

Whipe dry with clean/ soft microfibre cloth

That is the other way 😃

But if one does not have that service available close or purchasing records online then the DIY method is the only way 

 

I have a vacuum RCM and another manual bath brush knosti type 

The manual method is great if the records don’t require a deep clean

Unfortunately I did not catch the water stain ... On the album cover...

 

And did a quick inspection.....

 

It still looks almost new... Just some mold spots... That where not removed...

 

It sounded nice.. And dynamic with some great bottom end..

 

Until it hit those spots....

And here's the culprit of that chewed on record, with me and Dylan in the background at a cookout in the early 00s.

Apollo did hundreds in damage to a good portion of my treasured LPs one day when I didn't play with him for a half hour outside before I left for work at 5:00 am.

Not sure where that kid is now, used to ride on the dog's back and did that day too.

Could not hold a grudge against a super hero though, he would growl at parents when they disciplined or yelled at their kids, good thing he listened!

Another one out of the box tonight.

Synchronicity. Saw the Police at the Omni this tour!

"Oh My God" has an interesting percussive beat with subtle different tones to it that this pressing and the F3s make you hear them in a better way.

 

Could be that it's just not that often when I can blast the rig anymore, high noon on the pot just make my Klipsch sing!

Thanks. I keep telling myself it was an investment. A little more hum than I'd like.

 

 

 

In most cases it’s earth or poor connection 

Check clips 

Check dry solder joints ( due to age )
