Lets talk about whats Moving and Grooving you today! [2023-11]

Maybe on other threads, here you are just Father Ace :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Another big success from cleaning. I think that what happened to these is that the dust has become deeply embedded into the grooves and all the bottom end seems to have disappeared and loads of sibilance on all tracks (at least that is what it feels like).

All sounds good now, but the wife has said enough of that for one evening :face_with_peeking_eye:

Back to digital by order of the Boss (and no not that one :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)

That’s why I love my Ultrasonic cleaning set up.
The ultrasonics plus heated water at around 46 c really gets the crap out of the grooves.
After a session of say 20 records I’m usually changing the water as it’s full of grunge.
(No not Nirvana!)

Thank you kindly Sir, I was hoping that either you or @RodS would rise to the occasion and respond with the usual good advice :+1:

Good to know that does make a difference, and being able to start a clean off upstairs and come down and listen to more music is the real win :grin:

I will be trying that tomorrow and also taking my empty bottle of distilled water to be topped up

Have you listened to Identity?

Thanks Michael. I don’t think it’s something I need at this moment. However, I have decided to keep a log of the condition of each album that I play from now on. Scoring system of 1 being perfect, to 5 being terrible. This will give me an indication if I perhaps need a cleaning bath in the future. At the moment I just clean with a spray and cloth, which seems to work well for most of my older albums.

No I haven’t, is it recommended?

My wife hates this album, and this is the first time I have made it to the end when she has been in the house :rofl:
That might be why I haven’t yet bought it.

This is a cracker of an album. Although a warning to anyone who may be contemplating seeing the live show. :unamused:

It’s not as good as Beyond Skin, but I need to give it another listen–I was doing other things when I played it.

Fortunately they sell distilled water in gallon jugs here dirt cheap so I usually have 5 or 6 on the shelf ready to go.

Waiting patiently :grinning:
Maybe your letterbox will have to wait a few more days. Maybe Saturday or Monday. Do you have Sunday post in The Netherlands?

That’s a shocker, though I do :heart: this album and a few more from their peak
