Michael Fremer's record cleaning process....

Whart and others: In spite of my knowing, very well, the sonic differences between "Revovler" (The Beatles MONO Box) and Sgt. Peppers or MMT, and now '"Rubber Soul", (I just listened to RS vs Revolver, again). All I know is what I hear, not what others want me to hear. The difference is obvious, Revolver is a notch below the others I mentioned in overall sonic terms and in soundstage "fullness and realism"! No question about it!

Past reviewer's wrong doings':

Classic Records:

Their rave reviews of these:

(1) "CSN"
(2) "Who's Next"
(3) "Abraxsas" (the last interation on MFSL) haven't heard the 45 rpm.

Should I proceed?

Some people ARE paying attention.

In the midst of all of this, I offer to you, a recommendation: (Hopefully it's still available on vinyl)

The Last Shadow Puppets " The Age Of The Understatement"

highly recommended

Fjm04: Point taken .. but that hasn't been my point all along. It still seems most are having a conflict with the reviews that they (reviewers) want us to depend upon regarding what they are hearing (In their state-of-the art systems) vs, what I hear. There will/can be, ultimately, major component purchasing decisions that may follow? Correct me if I'm wrong?... did you just say 18 years ago?

Still, Did I just read how Fjn04 states he is now, 18 years later, up to date, or even what his current reference regarding the two lps he pointed out from 18 years ago sounds now?. Yes, I can even now, 18 years or not, let anyone who graces my listening room hear a difference between a well recorded 33 rpm lp vs the same well recorded 45 rpm lp. (I just stated that recently in another thread, regarding the Holly Cole "Romantically Helpless" lp on Groovenote, 33rpm vs 45 rpm). I don't need a life long analog expert to point this out to me! I can find this out for myself! Which has been 'my point" all aong people!

Whart: Also remember that Black Keys is a two person band! Which kind of goes towards Frogman's comment, I presume.
