TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Word nah I haven't cleaned it. Only used a brush. I'll give it a clean later but after seeing how a vpi machine works, I need one of those. I bought a used smiths album (it was a reissue) and it sounded like garbage even though it looked fine, I cleaned it with a microfiber towel and some spray I picked up at a shop. It did nothing, brought it back to the dude who sold it to me, he put it on the vpi machine and it plays flawlessly.I keep talking up the KAB EV-1 machine. Costs about 1/10 the price of a VPI, but does a hell of a job. Look into it. Robert_Sofa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 $75-100 for a spin clean, you might as well pony up $180ish for a KAB EV-1 and be able to actually vacuum clean your records. When I try to actually be helpful in this shit show of a thread I actually get a downvote? hahaha verb1999 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pizza face Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I appreciated the info lol it doesn't look bad at all. Do you need an external vacuum or something? I didn't look into it extensively other than watching a how to use video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been cleaning records like crazy since I got mine and the difference is huge. It's super small and light too, since there isn't a vacuum inside of it.

MikePortly Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I just picked up my TOYPAJ and S/T. TOYPAJ has a slight warp so I may try to fix that with two panes of glass like I've heard about it. Never done that before. Looks cool and sounds really good! I think there's a little bit of loss in quality on "Stay Together For the Kids" so maybe that's that inner groove distortion people talk about here? Not terrible though. Mostly it just sounds a little hissy on the chorus and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly it just sounds a little hissy on the chorus and that's it. Yeah the IGD in "Stay Together" is crap. The rest of the album sounds decent but now that I've had an up close listening experience with the HT, I feel that the SRC sounded much better. But alas I'll stick with it because I would rather not spend $40-$50 on that pressing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePortly Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I had the clear SRC but got rid of it once I knew they were repressing this. I like that they all look similar because I'm a nerd. I do have a Rega RP-3 which probably adds to me thinking the record sounded pretty good overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psus2h Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think it is great that Tom is keeping himself busy and has found an outlet for his creativity. Its also cool that Mark and Travis are going to try things with Skiba, I am interested to see how this project sounds, especially since Tom had such a big influence on the sound.
