Bought this in a lot with another record I don’t give a shite about. Turns out it’s a white label promo!

Can any of you guys recommend a good ultrasonic cleaner for vinyl? Don’t want to go broke but open to hearing what you guys use.

I've always wanted to ask when I see your pics. Is that a towel on top of your amp? Usually amps have ventilation on top to let heat get out. If so, blocking it is not the best idea for the life of the component.

Dumb question, but how does one upload photos onto this site?

I've recently had an old integrated amp rebuild and would love to share some photos of it with my new turntable.

Upload the photos to imgbb. Then click on the photo and hit C. Then choose direct link and using the img button in reply to post paste the direct link.

Most of us use Imgur. There's an app on my phone (iOS). Once I take a photo and like it, I upload it in the app. Then I login on the website on my PC, and click my profile (top right icon) -> Images, select the new one and copy the "Direct Link" (should be 2nd one listed). Then come here, click the "img" button and paste that link.

I have only read some reviews, but typically I've seen the cheap ultrasonic cleaners don't really work. This new one from Humminguru (never heard of the brand before) at around $500 has some good reviews and I'm intrigued myself:

Yeah, it’s actually a placemat, I think. I keep it on there because we have dogs that create tons of hair, dust and dander. I pull it back if I’m listening to more than a side or two. It’s just not the most photogenic in that state.

Yeah, I use Imgur. Just don’t scroll on the main page. It’s filled with basement, incel idiots.

1977- Mercury

I can’t believe these guys didn’t get big. Mutt Lange’s first project as producer/engineer. If you like Supertramp, Queen, 10cc, ELO you should definitely check out their stuff.

This Ludwig cut bangs

Just checked the Blowout Bin and found a few very nice things:

The Who - Live at Leeds (Half-speed mastered 3 LP set of all 33 songs in performance sequence)
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (Blue vinyl; I see claims this is stamped from the same master as the Acoustic Sounds version, but not sure how true that is.)
Max Roach - Members Don't Git Weary - Pink Vinyl (Exclusive)

Also grabbed a 3 CD set from tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin & pianist Horace Parlan.

Edit: damn, got an email this morning that the Roach LP was canceled due to being unavailable. Was really looking forward to that one.

Edit 2: The Discogs entry for ALS has very positive comments on this. Definitely a steal at the price.

Nice, i should have got that, i got the $5 at the door instead.

Not so great. I love sublime but it doesnt hit the same. Maybe a bit too raw for me. I guess good for the collection, but id rater just throw on digital 40 oz.

Between picking up this at Walmart, and the WM exclusive Coltrane blue vinyl edition of A Love Supreme, the vinyl renaissance has clearly gone way more mainstream than I ever expected it would.

Really like Samantha Fish and I love this release, a lot of retro soul almost taking up Amy Winehouse's path.
