mrussel1 said:I would probably not buy any more Soviet records then. Mono should never be like that, to my knowledge. Here's the version I have, which is stereo. It's a good cut, but criticism on the pressing. I have surface noise on side 2.... however.... I took my TT in yesterday to get recalibrated and it turns out I have some damage on my needle, so I just ordered a new one. Could be the root of lots of my problems.

lexicondevil said:Do you have the original LT series version? I'm wondering how they compare. I've read the Tone Poet series can be hit or miss, due to source degradation. I don't know. I'm not too anal about it all, so I probably wouldn't even notice. I will say that when I compared my original mono, deep groove pressing of Blue Train to the MM version, it was very noticeable. The original copy, even though it's in VG condition, sounded far superior to the repress. And like I said, I'm no audiophile and plan to keep it that way.0

mrussel1 said:I have the okki and love it. Considering you seem to buy a lot of used, you should consider something. If you bought mostly new, there's an easy way with soft soap by hand, but it takes time and not as effective as a vacuum.so yours is vacuum only?bought one title NEW(claimed) off discogs and the guy said he opened and washed it?_____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

If you bought mostly new, there's an easy way with soft soap by hand, but it takes time and not as effective as a vacuum.I hear those work great. For my budget, the Spin Clean does the job great. Some audiophiles don't like the Spin Clean because they say it just moves the same old dirt around the record but I get around that by pre-cleaning any LP's that have visible dust using a microfiber cloth with a good record cleaning spray and then running the LP through the Spin Clean. And I clean fewer records per batch of solution than the 50 LPs they recommend as the most for each batch. I also have plenty of extra drying clothes, which I frequently hand-wash in Woolite. And to top it off, I have a drying rack that I set up in from of a fan on low for total drying.I know, by now you're probably thinking, just buy the damn Okki Nokki!
But seriously, I like my Zen-like meditative hand cleaning method and it works great. Ooooommmm...

Other than that, just one of the little brushes you dip in liquid. I don't think they're as effective though. I always had little particles I couldn't get off.0 -
mrussel1 said:Zerodust. Those are the best. You can knock off for 30 or the original for 40.

mickeyrat said:if thats the case, I saw an attachment made for a dyson(which we have) specifically for vinyls for like $18 bucks......
My solution is from okki. It makes like 3 gallons for 30 bucks which'll last forever. I seem to remember the mofi was not very concentrated, so it seemed over priced.0
