I’ve used an extra soft tooshbrush with success. Super basic “extra extra soft” The crackle could well be static also.

How have you cleaned it? Vacuum machine? Or spin clean? If record vacuum machine, you can try and “deep clean” extra soft toothbrush, RCM cleaning fluid multiple directions and rotations then vacuum again. Ensure you use antistatic brush and try with electric lighter (usb) to ensure you get...

Thanks all!

1984, reissue - France, Chess records - Muddy Waters, They call me Muddy Waters

1985 - Switzerland, GRP - GRP, Live in session. Such a great record I have purchased it 3 times (unknowingly), given it away once and now realized I purchased another copy.

2010 - Germany, ECM records - Nik Bärtsch's Ronin, Llyrìa Bringing it down a level after RHCP. To something a little more suited to the hour.

Waddie Jones has been trying for many years to find the formula

2019, repress - Europe, Warner Records - Red Hot Chili Peppers, Californication. This record was the one that got me into RHCP…scar tissue has to be one of my all time favorite tracks. Very lucky I got to see them live (although lackluster, IMO they were out shun by Die Antwoord)… Still...

2020, reissue, remastered, repress - Warner records, NPG records - Prince And the Revolution, Purple Rain. Who can argue that Prince didn’t tap into an extraterrestrial musical dimension.

2016, reissue - Europe, Fueled by ramen - Twenty One Pilots, Vessel. Duo from Ohio to have the 2nd album in history in which every track on the album received gold certification. Making Twenty One Pilots the first band in history to see every song on two albums go gold or platinum. I can’t...

2015, reissue, repress - Europe, Chrysalis - Jethro Tull, Aqualung I first heard this record pulling it out of my dad’s collection (first time I heard it I was absolutely awestruck by this super powerful amazing flute and how it made it into the mix on this seemingly rock record)… What a great...

I’m a huge fan of both Scott Hamilton & Gerry Mulligan. Will definitely give this a listen if I can find it on stream

1981 - Germany, ECM records - Shankar, Who’s to know A musician that continues to amaze me. This classifies as Indian Classical. But features for first time a double violin recorded on an album (the instrument conceived and designed by Shankar & manufactured by Jim Kennedy). The album...

I don’t recognize the non planar type speakers…Are those Rockport speakers? Or Monitor Audio?

I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on your preference of analogue over digita in your system. As I note you have multiple turntables + multiple digital inputs. And which of these have better synergy in your systems

1973 - South Africa, Phillips - Paço De Lućia, Paço De Lucia Thanks to the recommendation of @fdlsys, I heard the main track “entre dos águas” (what a track)…and then a few days later this popped up online…serendipitous…I thought. 3 days later it arrived and currently the sound filling my home...

It’s worth at least asking homemation if they can’t get you an hdmi board for it and at what price Sorry to hear

if it were me, I’d get on the net and trail through sites such as hifi shark and others to see what those items are fetching. Unfortunately the international second hand market shows about double the value of the South African market (as a general rule you can take more or less half the price...

2013, reissue (print #6002-1) - Germany, ACT records - E.S.T, Live in Hamburg. I’ve been saving this for a day when I knew I’d have the time to play through all 4 records. Disc 2 was certainly my favourite (IMO E.S.T at its best!) am I glad I saved this? Absofreakinglutely! What a record...

1988 - US, CBS Masterworks - Wynton Marsalis, Portrait of Wynton Marsalis. What a surprise, having no idea he was as accomplished playing classical as he is jazz, putting the record on this morning expecting the jazz I know him for. And the opening track being classical. I thought I have the...
