  1. Randog - A Jester award means funny. Not obscene, not confrontational, not in blatant conflict with the rules that all of us live by here. Read a few hundred of RodH's posts for great examples. If you think you will garner "crowd support" with this type of behavior you are seriously mistaken.

  2. I can't claim this one as original, but it seemed to fit, and be worth posting. In a little over a day, for the first time in my life, I will be seeing 20 20 !

  6. Hello all, Has anyone ever used the Last record preservative products? I've read quite a bit on the web about their products. Some people swear by them and others call it snake oil. The price is definitely high but is it worth the cost? Here's a link to Last: https://thelastfactory.com/product-category/record-cleaners-preservatives/

  7. I used last treatment on a number of albums back in the day. They swore there was no residue, but I would be in Barrys camp and do the least needed. Good record sleeves at least as important to me. Don't forget stylus care,,, and yes, so much more. Bad cartridge alignment would a big killer as opposed to a film on the album. Ok, I shut up now.

  8. I have records that were treated with LAST close to 40 years ago and they sound fine. The original last treatment does a nice job of lowering surface noise. (Part of this might be connected to the high grade cleaner/applicator brushes included) I'm not sure what it is or why it works, but it does. (Their description of what it does has been debunked by chemists) If you decide to try it I strongly suggest buying directly from the factory. About 15 years ago there were some folks who apparently purchased a large number of bottles and saved the contents in another container. They then refilled the last bottles with something else and sold them on eBay.

  9. I remember when that first came out, and always thought it would be a great way to pretty much eliminate any high frequencies, and muddy the sound. The idea of coating the grooves of a record just makes me very uncomfortable. If you are inclined to try it, I'd recommend you give it a go on a throwaway LP, first, but listen to it enough before so you can compare.

  11. My boss made a similar joke a couple of weeks ago when I told him I'm retiring soon. We banter something like this: Boss: "What can I do to help?" Me: "More money" Boss: "Less money" Me: "OK, I'm retiring in 2 weeks. You have my notice." This time, boss answered, "You have to wait until 2021. Everyone knows hindsight is 2020." I really bragged him up for that one. Then I asked him where he stole it from.
