Vinyl

^ my pleasure. Unlike the Spin Clean, the "Record Doctor" does have a pretty potent vacuum function to it, which allows more thorough removal of the cleaning fluid and likely contributes to sucking out what may be sitting in the grooves.  

^ I wouldn't know what other machine to compare it to, because it's the only one I have ever had. It's way better than just using a velvet brush (which are good for surface cleaning only anyway). After I fixed a little problem the machine had, the suction has been pretty good; 3 full turns clockwise, then a couple counter clockwise, and the record is dry, would you believe. The absence of the record turning mechanism don't bother me none. The way I see it, the fewer moving parts, the longer it will last :) One thing to watch, though, is the condition of the "sweeping pad", because you don't want it to collect any abrasive particles. 

^ I do believe that my machine came with a small vial of cleaning fluid and a special brush they recommend to use.  

Back home again (aaaaaaaahh) - just plonked on Liquid Tension Experiment 2 and having a great time......
bleedin' hot here too - low 90's and humid as a hot-house. Bit of a change after The States.........

^ Indeed - translucent aqua with black splatter - further adding to the excitement (that few can understand.....)
Man, I love the U.S. of A. All you folks living there are very lucky.

^ you two reminded me, in a circuitous way, about one great album I have been ignoring .. up the platter she pops, and ... drum roll ... she can dance a Cajun rhythm, yes indeed

All you folks living there are very lucky.   I used to travel to New Zealand for work many yrs ago, but never made it to Australia, I really wanted to go....still do. But expensive to travel there from here.....

I'm tipping that if you hold off on the vinyl and related gadgets for a year, you could easily make it down under.
Man, I wish I was back in NYC, it's quarter to 7am, and I'm already sweating.
......bleedin' cane-toads jumping around the yard, cicadas chirping in the trees, even a kookaburra laughing in the distance......good to be back home really, but love what I've seen of USA and Caribbean.

^^ Very nice, Jose - congrats for 30 years
Listening to the live Styx again - terrific !! Great performance - and the gig seems to be from New Orleans (DeYoung and Shaw state in a few songs). There's no location/date credits..... guessing it's from the Kilroy tour during 1983. Love to get my hands on the DVD of it.
