Whats on your turntable tonight?

Back to work on Monday after 11 months.

Warming up with"Middle Cyclone"

E.L.O.  'Face The Music'  Cleaned on the Degritter and is noticeably nicer than it has sounded in the past.  Great album!

Joni Mitchell  'Hejira'  I bought this on Discogs NM/M- and it arrived Wednesday.  It looked flawless but was dusty.  I cleaned it on the Nitty Gritty and then in the Degritter.  Immaculate to the eye.  Played it and, darn, noisy as can be.  I mean, a lot of noise.  Could it be a lousy pressing?  Could it have been previously played often on a worn, conical stylus?  A combination of these issues?  The music is wonderful but what a disappointment of the vinyl.  I'll try another "heavy" deep cleaning on the Degritter and hope for the best.  Any suggestions are welcome.

@mammouthguy54,

In your situation, I do a deep steam then a US clean.

Installed two ADD/POWR eau2 today, one on each dedicated line. Playing "Middle Cyclone", an lp I'm very familiar with, there seems to be an ease to the overall presentation, kind of an additional dimension to the soundstage and lower piano registers are more clear and defined. More listening needed.
