Why vinyl

@gjfalls This is a new experience and when done using my proposed method, the end product is cleaned, but in my assessment it is 'Purified'.

'Purified' has a sound of its own, the condition being present is audible through its unclean condition no longer being audible. Or alternatively, unclean is 'quite conspicuous through its absence'. 

I recall Neil Stating the set up would do X? amount of LP's but the cost per LP was near $00.02c, if all Chemical bought in is used at approx' 2 Years.

When set up, I could do 10 LP's (both sides) in one hour and did two sessions a week. It is worthwhile getting set up to do 10-15 LP's as there is then plenty of listening to consider in between cleaning sessions

I also took the instructions a little further and had colour coded additional brushes to not cross contaminate brushes with other mixtures. The between mixtures rinsing assists, but brushes for each clean stage is a nice touch and not adding much to the expense.

For rinsing, I adopted a Gardeners Pressurized Pump Bottle, about 2 Litres, I could Blast Rinse with this, with nozzle spray set from Jet to Mist, nice to see a powerful rinse take place.

“Hello to you!”

Yes, I’ll say it…We’re “SENIORS”. Getting up and down from my listening chair to change Vinyl or CD’s  is more a chore these days with the aches and pains of aging, knee replacement, etc..So now I’m opting to use streaming as my primary source for continuous listening.

I started with a BlueSound Node Icon and switched to the McIntosh CS200 Streaming DAC. The Node Icon I thought was good enough until I heard the CS200. Which is superior in sound quality but I find its user interface difficult to navigate. Too many steps to connect and get going. The Node Icon was very easy to setup and use. I still have it and just use it in another room in the house.

Using the streamer with Quobuz, or Tidal makes a big difference in listening quality as well. I have both but will settle for just one after Quobuz trial ends. I find Spotify, now that it has Lossless tracks, to be fine when I want background music. I’ve had Spotify for a few years now and have built 30 plus personal playlists, which took a lot of time to produce. I’m not sure if I want to take the time to reproduce them just to get the higher quality sound.

I must say that human are not machine. Their creativity and freedom lay in their biases history and  chosen values, branded meaningless by those who want to make mankind a blank slate...

By giving love to your turntable and vinyls you express human singularity and the irreducible value of meaning over only practical command...

i dont need vinyl myself but this dont means that i had no idea about what "vinyl" means ...

You could never get me to lay down and die!

Yep, I try to take care of my aging father-in-law as best I can (he’s 90), and the single most important thing for him is he needs to keep moving, rather than just sitting in front of the tv and wait to die.  If only I could get him interested in vinyl?  He’d have to get up out of that chair every 30 minutes or so.  Alas, he can barely hear, and has never had much interest in music.
