I recently purchase "Empyrean Isles" (1964) and "Inventions &
Dimensions" (1963) from Herbie Hancock. If you don't know, I recommend
them.

Thanks, but I do know those albums.
In fact, I think I have everything Herbie ever recorded, on CD or LP.
He's my all-time favourite piano player ( I play piano myself, so that
might explain why).

J.S. Bach: Brandenburgse Konzerte by Gustav Leonard & Orchestra.

You are really courageous.
I've copied nearly all my LPs on CD.
I don't understand where you find the courage to turn and clean these things
twice in 40 minutes.

I hardly see this as a problem.
Everything should be "interactive" these days, no? :-)


It's not a problem for many of us. Also, it is definitely not necessary to
clean LPs more than once, provided that an appropriate cleaning solution and
method is used. A carbon fibre brush generallly can take care of any dust that
might be on an already-cleaned record. Unlike the digital bigot from Detroit
and his Californian puppet, I don't think its worth while to trash peoples'
preferences.

BTW this preserves them from my terrible Technics turntable
agressions... ;-)

Oh well.........go find yourself a good ERA at the pawnshop :-)


That might be a cost-effective way to go. Or how about a used Rega or Project
turntable. They are relatively inexpensive in the USA, so I would guess they
would be even cheaper in Europe. Just make sure whatever you get is belt
drive.

eBay is another source for turntables, sometimes bargain-priced.
