Derrick Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Picked up the latest Paul Simon album. Well recorded. Sounds great. Most of his albums do. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 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! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 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! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
