Yes it was 80’s night so I spun a couple extra LP’s No surprise only 2/10 made Audiophile status. Missing Persons SQ was a disappointment since Bob Ludwig mastered it. Vocals were recessed and murky by choice? White Lion SQ was very good considering the genre. The Gatlin Brothers was the SQ champ tonight also delivering intelligent "country" lyrics. A top shelf 1980’s country album.

A clean record.

I just listened to Journey Escape...a salvation army $1 purchase from 2002. Never sounded like this before. Fresh off my recently acquired VPI record cleaning machine. 

I think MC cartridges are sensitive enough to get befuddled by even slightly dirty or static infused records.
