Oh, wow. Thank you to many...
Friends, I have enjoyed reading countless threads and I have learned so very much from your experience.
Well, someone once commented the source maters the most. Well, I have filthy sources. Old records, smudges etc.
I picked up the Humminguru EZ spinner and the HumminGuru Nova. The difference in playback on my modest (but beloved) Sansui SR-717 was absolutely magical. The detail was so much greater. The backgrounds were so much darker.
Oh - and I pulled my speakers out from the wall.... NIRVANA
My parents had a record player. It was terrible. I never bought into the my vinyl is better than your CD. I am not sure I do now.
What I do know is this: the cleaning of the record (Anberlin: More to Living Than Being Alive) changed it in a way that I cannot put into words. I hear depth, detail and life in the music in a way I never did before.
Thank you - if you commented at some point on this sub, I probably read your comments and they helped me get to here. It's amazing.

It's nice of you letting others know they have helped you, I often say "I got help here", I am always thankful for all I have learned here since joining in 2019. Taking advantage of your post: I’m considering the HummingGuru Ultrasonic, just holding back because it seems so SMALL (an asset for me actually) compared to the larger, more expensive ones people love. Comments: Yay, just get one Nay, I tried it, didn’t like it |
Proper record cleaning is the biggest upgrade, as I've often said. The cleaner, the better, but conversely, anything is better than nothing. Some of my records survived being played with a ceramic cartridge on a Philips one box record player in the 1960's, and even they are mostly silent after cleaning. I wouldn't have believed it possible until I found out for myself. |
That’s what the forums are all about! Enjoy the music @ctlesq And enjoy this hobby! |
