Opiate angels, the Jones in my vein....

OK, I'll bite. Just what is a CD master? Digital studio masters are not CDs, and for that matter what are you doing with your DEQ2496?

This is the same guy that tried to convince us his PONO digital was so superior. Remember how that worked out. Digital masters lack tape hiss and magnetic oversaturation distortion.......

50? Then you get one of these:

While I would tend to agree with you, can you offer any proof? Ultrasonics still involve liquids, how do you propose to draw that liquid and the associated debris out of the grooves?

Not nearly enough.....

In the sub-cockle area......

Kryptonite doped virgin Scottish sheep foreskin paper. Accept no substitute!

I rather like the rice-paper ones.

Who knew there were so many? You can always ctrl-f and type in rock or prog or pop or whatever. Wondering how the locations of things relate. Who knew there were bands closer to Floyd than Waters and Gilmour? Oh?

Pssst! Post some pictures before the 'Z' gets here! Welcome to the asylum!

I don't know, but I posted because of the song, and it was in the field which I worked for 35+ years. I know you didn't ask, and wasn't pushing anything on any one here, but was a cool song IMO. Any one could relate to it, it didn't have to be refinery orientated . Actually, I was asking 4krow, but thanks! I can relate, as I'm sure many a member here can. 19 years ago I sold my business and joined a food packaging company as plant engineer. It was fantastic at first. Family owned business, a dozen plants across the US and Canada. We were treated very well, we allowed to do our jobs and our successes were handsomely rewarded. A few years in, the patriarch of the owner family decided his time was up and he wanted to buy a vineyard in Napa and devote his time to that. The company was sold to a large international corporation that seemed to be well in tune with the business we were in. There were a few minor re-alignments but for the most part, they trusted us to continue doing what we were good at. Then the world changed. That company had holdings in sectors that went to crap and they decided to divest themselves on 'non-core' business units. That meant us. Our division was sold to another much larger multinational that was more of a merger and acquisition company ( we referred to them as murder and acquisition ) than a manufacturing one. The cuts came in waves. Waves like on the open ocean, one right after the next. I got so sick of walking employees with 20+ years in the company out the door. It was soul destroying. Then the consultants came. Salaries got cut, benefits dwindled and pension contributions got decimated. As more high level staff got let go, the remaining few were tasked with covering their responsibilities atop our own. One day we walked 2 more senior staffers out and I got called on the carpet to be told I was now required to cover both of their jobs. Entirely. Not having enough pension to consider retiring, it was time to find other employment which thanks to my extensive connection in the local business community only took a couple weeks. I'm happy for anyone who manages to get out of the rat race. Congrats!

Do I want to ask what you used to do?

No, The Loctite stuff is pricier. I use it at work to repair industrial power control devices that I can't find suitable replacement parts for. It does a much better job on metal to metal bonds than run of the mill crazy glue, but you aren't looking to hold more than a few grams so use what you have on hand.

I had one delivered to me in 2 pieces. Used: Loctite Instant Adhesive QuickTite, worked great.
