Haven’t been ON in a while. Need few days just to catch up. Is someone having fun with LRS+? 👀

Reviewers=opinions. No more, no less.

Great phono. If I had extra $ I would happily get that of your hands.

From what I've read, back in the days, even engineers were stoned working 16hr rotations.

So music and narcotics do not mix huh? Lol That's going to be extremely tough to defend. ;)

Tuff gong music is repressing entire Bob Marley catalog. Pressed in new pressing plant in Jamaica. If anyone is interested. I don’t know if it’s an AAA or digital transfer mastering tho… I doubt B. Marley estate owns any masters so, maybe from a digital file?

I don't watch tv. It's garbage. I though that someone brought PC as a trade-in....? Perhaps I missed something.

For more explanation, see this. Glowing review. I got 4 copies. Sounds great. Just finished a needle drop.

Going on 2 years. On standby 24/7, used daily. No issues. Still not looking for a replacement.

From my experience, stock pads work best. I found some pads on AliEXp that are thicker and don't change the sound all that much but I don't remember who was selling it.

Tragic but funny. I've been blessed with luck in that regard. I did mess up one cart that was loosely stored in inappropriate box. But never while mounted on tt.

As far as I know, only few dare to make their own USB and non makes their own HDMI. At least that was the case years ago. Very nice needle drop. Unfortunately I can only do an in room recordings. Not a direct to digital files.

Fun fact. All HDMI and most if not all USB cables are made in China. Even the ridiculously priced boutique brands. 😉

Let me clarifiy. I have 3 copies of that Blue Note album. Exactly the same copies/pressing. All bought around the same time. One was opened and played couple times and there other two were in their original sealed plastic. For that demo, I’ve cleaned that older/opened/played record and...

Actually, first sample is opened/played and ultrasonic cleaned vinyl. Second sample is brand new out of the box. New toy enthusiasm is understandable. 😂 Also, this is available for preorder. First Kevin Grey all tube engineering, recording and mastering from his new label studio. If any of...

Better sample of ultrasonic vs new LP. Two copies of exactly the same Blue Note title. One, brand new and opened in front of your eyes. No cleaning whatsoever. The other, my older copy. Played once or twice and ultrasonic cleaned before demo via HumminGuru ultrasonic cleaner.

I could be wrong but wasn’t Dominique Fils-Aimé recorded natively in digital? For whatever reason, LPs with digitally recorded albums still have an edge over digital streaming.

Wagner wasn’t accidental neither was Black Sabbath. DIE WALKÜRE has been used in more than few war movies. That’s for sure. It’s a powerful piece. Thor is a nice guy in my opinion. Perhaps a little too thin skinned but, there’s always someone on the live comment section that will try to get the...

I just noticed price on sticker…. Wow! I had no idea…. This new boxset sells for $100 retail price. And sounds awesome. Extras include never released concerts and quad recording. Sweet deal IMO. Clearly yours isn’t that. My bad.

This needle drop is going to freak out a lot a guys on here but it is actually quite emotional and well recorded boxset. Imaging and soundstage is very realistic.

Was it 50th anniversary reissue? It actually sounds very good and it’s a fantastic album in my opinion. I have posted unboxing on my YouTube channel as well but…. it might be hard to find since it’s titled ‘Thor meltdown’ or something. Where I played a clip of VC latest drama while unboxing it...

Black Sabbath Paranoid 50th anniversary boxset needle drop:

Not going to post pics of many recent lp acquisitions but this one is interesting…. I think.

Made an easy ‘how to’ for beginners video but makes no sense to link it here for such advanced bunch of chaps. Lol Comparison is coming soon thought. (Making those freakn vids surely takes time.)

No, not a project. Just curious to see how well it does or how ineffective it is on badly handled/stored vinyl. As you know, I use both. My DIY ultrasonic along with vacuum VPI cleaner. Problem with that approach is that it takes time and the rig is in my basement/shop. While HimminGuru will be...
