Indeed! Usual rates apply!! (£1 a go).
Clearaudio Smart Matrix if you're interested. Got the 7" adapter too and use those Nagaoka-style anti static sleeves on all cleaned records.
Thanks to Dan for a bit of a plug. Considered Moth, Okki Nokki but Clearaudio seemed the best. Nice bit of German engineering. I do use the Moth Record Cleaning Fluid though as a lot cheaper than the Clearaudio stuff.
Seriously, though, this has gone down well at the record fairs we've done at the Doncaster Dome. Some guy asked me to clean his Argentinian numbered first pressing of some Clannad rubbish - want to see my hands shake? You bet they were! I then had to play it for him - it sounded f amazing on Acoustic Signature turntable with the modified Origin Live arm, Herbies mat and Shelter 201 cartridge through £3k worth of Luxman amp and £4700 Gershman speakers!!! I cleaned a Beatles double lp for one of the dealers there last week that was up for £325. If he sold it, he'd nearly have enough to buy his own record cleaning machine!
Happy to answer any questions on the Clearaudio either here or if someone wants to start a new thread perhaps.

Josh Don't think I'm cleaning just one side of an album just 'cos you don't like what's on side B!! Darren

TBH I am not at all sure to what Mr J is referring when he says the music is digital.
WRT your observation Sol, I rather suspect that it is not so much the technology used at the recording and mastering stage as the skill and experience of the engineers at getting the most from the source and setting the recording stage, eg mic placement, gain etc. Also, with a lot of classical music I suspect there will be less likely to be production room pressure to "make it louder" etc - in fact it often seems the case that the reverse is true and the overall volume is reduced (presumably to fit the length of the recording on the disc) Almost certainly this would be a topic on which Graham could enlarge more knowledgeably than I. I would make the observation however, that DAT is, I believe, capable of recording at a higher resolution than is used on standard redbook CD. Edited by tg - 27 Jan 2008 at 10:28pm |

Well I have just purchased a 4 month old SL1210 MK2 in silver!!
I know that Graham has used this deck before (and i belive owns one) so i was wondering if either Graham or anyone else can come up with any modifications/tweeks that make the deck sing out loud!
I think i am the type of person that just likes playing and tweeking stuff.
So any ideas people??
