The brush (record cleaner), I use to remove possible dust from every record I play, has anti-static effect as well.

Nice pickup!

I received the new live Porcupine Tree album a week or so back. (Thanks to someone in this thread for convincing me to buy it! WinkEmbarrassed) I also sniped a fairly cheap OG copy of Magma Attahk!!!!!! Only 10$ on discogs and in fairly good condition.
My PT~ Live showed up yesterday in the mailbox....finally.

It sounds amazing!!!Clap

Christmas present from my daughter......I've heard an OG of this one as well the BN75 series, this new 2023 version is sonically superior. Kevin Gray hit another homerun.

Well it's that time of year, sometimes very cold with low humidity and then heater running that could dry out the air, especially if you are one who runs a fireplace.
I do have a Zerostat anti-static gun that works really well. The mat I have also does not hold static so that helps a lot, that's one thing is if you are using a felt type mat you might want to change it to something different. Cork mats work really well with static control........

It's a 200g 2020 release with Alt mixes by S. Wilson / David Singleton & Alex Mundy.


I haven't found much other info on it so far.
Excellent........I have almost all the KC reissues from 2010-2014, all reissues with new masters approved by RFripp. I think they all sound great!

Is this yours? This one is easy, the VTA is way off. The tonearm should be parallel to the playing surface, this is showing the tail of the tonearm is way too high.
God NO ! It's from the Vinyl article above. But it struck me like a hammer when I saw it.

Really good ones! I got two BlueNote albums.
Wayne Shorter~Night Dreamer
Stanley Turrentine~Mr Natural (this is a Tone Poet Series)

I bought a ton of records the past few months, there was nothing on my list I needed.
