Nice! I saw them live in Milan in probably '95-'96 I would think? It was a quite good show - I like theatrical performances so very up my street. I loved their first two albums, then stopped listening to that genre, but recently re-discovered them - bought Irreligious in vinyl and have...

You must like Moonspell then?

Sorry, missed this. Yes I had seen that. All off the table and back to soft brush and gel.

Well. I read that Dynavector advises not to use any vibration type cleaner on the XX2 - which I have. And looking into it, true ultrasonic cleaners are also not really advisable. As the Dynavector XX2 rebuild costs £800 and Audio Technica doesn't do rebuilds for the AT33PTGII or AT33MONO, so...

This is a brillian thread. Never seen it so doing it all in one go. Great fun.

Ouch

Yeah fair point, I'm thinking of letting go of the ultrasonic and just keeping spray a bottle of distilled water to use on pro-ject still then hoover it all up. Having two separate tools is what is putting me off doing it.

Agreed. I do have one but fluff still seems to find its way to the stylus. Plus I don't always rinse the record after the wet vacuum and suspect the cleaning product might leave some gunk behind...

Came across this on a FB Technics group, the person who bought it recommended it but I can't find any other reviews or comments online. It sells for £39 in the UK, which is considerably cheaper than the Hummingguru - but sometimes cheap equals not very good... Anyone tried it?

I am not massively into coloured records and definitely not into splatter, zoetropic or whatever, so don't have much basis for comparison, but I keep reading how these fancy versions aren't meant to be as good - possibly because of the dyes which need to be added to the vinyl mix? Anyway, yes...

Here I am! Couldn't lie if I wanted to. She'd know... So I stopped trying. Luckily she is very patient 😂 Well, up to a point. When I floated the idea of selling the Technics SL-1300G I bought two months ago and buying a 1200GAE she wasn't very impressed.... And having now soothed the itch, she...

Another idea for writing the posts is using AI chatbots, if you use any. I do as I have never been good at selling and I find having an eye-catching listing helps - as long as you steer clear of overly sales-y language_... If you do, give it clear parameters and let it work its magic - you can...

Good advice. I am a very impatient seller and always think my stuff will "fly off my shelf" in a week or two, get twitchy when it doesn't and start lowering prices - then unfailingly regret it, but once you reduced the price, there's no going back.

Also I would try on Facebook Marketplace - there are also a lot of hifi groups, including vintage hifi, you can join and post to. And also sites like Pinkfishmedia and AVforums.com, they have classifieds.

It is. I am guilty of neglect however. I bought it as an upgrade from my CD6005 in the hope of reigniting my love of CDs (also as you can buy 20 at any charity shop for the price of a new record) but so far, I failed... Must try harder.
