Pink Floyd. "echoes" today

Often leaves me in an unusual frame of mind. Like the minds been on a journey and suffered some kind of emotional loss along the way and then come though to the other side.

Either way , love the "Waters & Gilmour" bass playing on this.

This one is a bit long, but I recommend that you watch through to the end...one of my favorites of his.

Ironically I hadn't heard of him, yet he did a free concert only 2 mins from where I work in Jan. Looks like he's coming our way again so will definitely go next time.

Brought a CD a few years back by Faithless called "To all the arrivals ".
It's seems to be written from a new parent POV and is about the dreams and hopes we have for our offspring.

Didn't play it much at the time as we're trying to have a family and some of the song lyrics hit home. Quite a few years on we're parents and its awesome every day.

I've started listening to the faithless cd again and can really relate to the tracks and lyrics.
That aside one track "I hope" is one of those ambient music starts that turns into a dance track. The low end / bass towards the track end is great. Give it a try.

What rip software do you use ? It's on my around to list to rip all my albums and 80s 12 inch collection.

After something that does 24/96k flac but haven't looked around for a while.

Just download Audacity, Audacity: Download . It's free and perfect for this. You'll even find some great tutorials on YouTube for cleaning up the ticks and pops in your vinyl rips.

I just do the clip/pop removal, and only the other steps if the Vinyl is in really bad condition...Check out:

Cleaning Vinyl Audio Recordings in Audacity (Surface Noise & Pops) - YouTube

Using a humidifier in the room with the turntable before you start your rips greatly reduces static electricity and the resulting clicks and pops.

I'm using the Numark TTXUSB turntable (but I am bypassing the USB and built-in phono preamp and using the Ifi Micro iPhono phono preamp, or the Arturia Audiofuse), only because I had about 50+ Home-Cut Records that my Grandmother, Great Aunt, and their friends "recorded" or cut at home and I needed something with a wide range of variable speed control. I also purchased a special cartridge, needles, and cleaning supplies just for this purpose from KAB Electro Acoustics http://www.kabusa.com

For modern LPs, I am using the Denon DL160 cartridge with the Ifi Micro iPhono phono preamp...

Micro – iPhono or iFi Micro iPhono MM/MC Phono Preamp at Music Direct

Just like car audio, this vinyl/turntable thing is a venture down the rabbit hole, but it's fun. Check out YouTube member "BSD2000" for some great Rips... https://www.youtube.com/user/BSD2000

In other news, I've been listening to Adam Ben Ezra...

Cheers for the info.

Will give this a try. Will be ripping via a kenwood kd600 / sme 3009 tonearm / dynavector moving coil cartridge.

For noisy records another way to reduce clicks and pops is to spray alot of record cleaner on the track. The fluid reduces the surface noise. Picked up this tip from a radio station DJ back in the 1980s

Need to pick up a record cleaning / vacuum machine as well?

Billie Holiday this afternoon. Throw back to childhood memories of Gershwin , Ella Fitzgerald and other Jazz records being played on the family gramophone, (78 rpm BSR turntable, mono valve amp via open baffle two way speakers )

Usually for Billie Holiday the Sanarta song was recorded in Stereo

Another link added

On the Pink Floyd SACD front DSOTM "time" is bizarre in 5.1

Sounds like the room is full of clocks along with all the 5.1 panning going on.
