That project makes way more sense than anything I do tho.

Lol the :foot: :foot: marketing strategy.

  1. Further perfected carnauba surface treatment. It is not enough for solvent to evaporate gotta go for recrystallization which I did in fridge. Super hard to get excess off after that for some reason tho, so proceed with caution.

  2. Damped my set up better (I tapped things with a quarter using iPhone spectrogram on peak hold to find the resonant frequencies and damped until those died - instead of overall energy)

  3. Thought of something so clever I spent whole day with chatGPT building it in python. Holy fuck it worked! Also, it is a secret in case I want to make it a product.

Dude, I did an LP just now on mega damped rig. My noise floor dropped to -60db without anything but click and rumble removal. Gonna set up that moon audio preamp I got kicking around that is supposed to be even quieter and see how things do. I try it and it no better than the homebrew preamp and digital correction using wurcer’s biquads which is below. :man_shrugging:

FUUUUCK

Of all the legendary recs that exist in good sound on original sources but the commercial transfers have been trash - this one comes to mind as #1.

After years of looking I finally found and spent 150 bucks on a mint single owner copy of the r2r release. Might use a pro transfer service to do it if i can’t figure out how to barrow a good machine to get it into digital.

His Chopin etudes are another one that someone transferred in their garage or something. Poor cziff

Luckily we got a ton of 1950’s and 60’s live stuff in amazing sound

I also kinda like the sound in those 1954-1956 Hungaroton recs. Mostly done on a Steinway B aside from da concerti

This fatty porn for sure.

I spent last night tinkering with the tray of my laser turntable. I center loaded the mass of the plate so the turning mechanism is less like to wobble and cause the laser tracking to vibrate whilst chasing the vertical variance that introduces.

I have a Moiseiwitsch side in the glue to see how the days of damping and lubing the innards with that 3m tape and living the moving parts fare.

Other thing I gonna try is sliding a grounded to socket piece if tinfoil across surface of LP as I remove glue to dissipate charge shearing glue off causes.

:popcorn:

FUUUUCK

All the mods on the laser table improved its accuracy terrifyingly and modifying the output to improve slew rate make the noise reduction sheeyat work a lot better cuz transients no longer smeared. Lol I bet I hear each atom on the LPs when i try those. Moiseiwitch pictures better dry soon.

This what was available before fattification for reference.

Feels safe. Also didn’t discharge the static for shit. Gonna have to go with quats.

Lasers are back

Also bought .65 cst silicone and put a small amount of that in dilute alcohol and cleaned surface. Alcohol cleans and discharges static and when dry there is a microscopic layer of silicone that prevents the static problem left behind. That ultralight leaves no residue and is microscopically too thin to interfere with playback good or bad.

Are you still planning to finish the Suzu love doll prototype? I’m ready to bid on it but I guess Orio got more funds to throw at that sort of purchase
