And took out my DVD player with a 1Tb storage, and my Pioneer Tuner. Made a few trips to the shops and got some new interconnects and other cables and plugs... now waiting for my CD player to be serviced. But strangely my power amp is now acting up... gosh... I've got to lug that 15kg millstone off for servicing!! Anyway... I'm glad that the upgrading of my speakers went well, I managed to write in to the manufacturer in the UK to recommend a new driver, and the local Audio shop chap ordered it, and came over and installed it for me.

steppenwolf Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 Thank God It's Friday and I've just placed an order for the following... "A masterpiece of pop culture. A true milestone in pop history". Not our words but the words of Malcolm McLaren himself who reviewed favourably his debut album 'Duck Rock'. It may have seemed unfathomable but McLaren was highly influential in bringing hip-hop and World Music to a wider audience. 'Duck Rock' spawned two massive hits in 'Buffalo Gals' and 'Double Dutch' as well as influencing the likes of Herbie Hancock and Neneh Cherry. Here is a 40th-anniversary edition with a second disc of unreleased material. A five-track promo of remixes distributed to DJs to complement the release of ‘Call A Wave’, the 1989 single credited to Malcolm McLaren And The Bootzilla Orchestra. The sought-after ‘DFC Dance Mix’, a classic of Balearic house, is backed up by four more ace reworkings, including by S’Express’s Mark Moore and famed producer William Orbit.

mike_amk Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 Next in line would be to rewire my home theater system, and re-drill the wall mounts for all the speakers as I've gotten a new TV and the previous speaker positions are out of alignment for the new screen dimensions. Also, I've accidentally thrown away the calibration microphone for tuning my speakers... gosh... had to order a replacement from Japan, and it will only arrive on the 20th ! It is gonna get real dusty in here... And I've got to install the soundproofing materials onto the walls, as I can hear my neighbour which means they can hear my music too ...yikes! Looks like it will be a really busy January ! My back is gonna be aching like crazy, as I hate moving that blooming power-amplifier... it weighs a hefty 19kgs !! And my main speakers weigh around 22kgs each !! I'll probably need to make an appointment with Ming to reset my back after all that. 👍 Cheers 🥂 😎 steppenwolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have LP's that are 60years old that I've inherited from my late relative, and I had it professionally cleaned, and it plays well.. of course some clicks and pops are to be expected. At the moment I'm getting my LP cleaner serviced... should have it back by end of the month and I'll begin to clean some of my collection.

steppenwolf Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 (edited) 18 hours ago, horchew said: Can moldy vinyls be salvage? You can also clean them yourself and that's what I do whenever I acquired pre-loved vinyl records; with just enzyme solution, tap water and a record brush. For the enzyme solution, prepare it by diluting it with tap water (1:15 ratio) and then bottle it up with a spray bottle with nozzle. As for the cleaning procedures, here're 7 simple steps:- Gently "rinse" the record in slow running water from the tap on both sides, shake off the excess water and thereafter place it flat on a clean towel While the record is still semi-wet, spray the diluted enzyme solution onto it, one side at a time - 3 squirts for 12" and 1-2 squirts for 7" Using a record brush (wet it first either with tap water or the bottled enzyme solution), gently clean the record in circular motion a few times Repeat steps 2 & 3 for the other side when one side is cleaned When both sides are cleaned, rinse the record again with running water and this time, use a separate clean towel thereafter to wipe off the excess water (I use a micro-fiber towel here) At this stage, the record may not be totally dry, so I'll leave it on a plate holder until the excess water is dripped off or evaporated over time Once your record is bone-dry, make sure you insert it into a fresh new inner sleeve before keeping it into the cardboard record sleeve Voila, there you have it! Anyway, there are a lot of YouTube videos demonstrating how you can clean your moldy vinyl records. My way is definitely not the definitive way, but it has been working for me for years and it's very affordable too. It may be manual work, repetitive and a chore too if you have many records to clean. But then, once they are properly cleaned, you will feel a sense of accomplishment and pride with many hours of listening pleasure to come. Happy cleaning!
