hlov Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 Not today but few weeks back. The one piece, the holy grail. We called it mother, called it whore and ****, called it our beloved, called it Abraxas. One Step MFSL, you can’t beat this one Thanks heaps @Doppelganger for hosting “the opening” and @scuzzii for joining. 8 6 1

Greg’s system with the SGRs is sensational. One of the best I’ve heard. @Doppelganger 4 1 1

I'm just an occasional visitor here these days! I have the SGR CX4F speakers (Mk.1). Fantastic speakers that elevated my whole system. Hopefully, you get down to Sydney sometime soon and you're always welcome for a session! 1
stevoz Posted September 30, 2024 Author Posted September 30, 2024 After some extensive review research to justify cost (which that research did).....and after realising that I will save around $110 in postage by buying all these at once and not one at a time, I lashed out and got myself an 'early Christmas present' (who am I kidding?!) by buying my four favourite Steely Dan albums on the Analogue Productions UHQR label via Acoustic Sounds. The Royal Scam is a pre-order, so hopefully it is up to the same high standard of the highly judged and much vaunted other three. PS: I've just realised that what I just paid was in US dollars...........FFS Oh well, you only live once! 7 2 1 1

Hope you’re well too mate. Always been curious about them so great to hear yours and other opinions. It seems they don’t make anything that isn’t great! Definitely let you know when I ever get back to Sydney again.

Im hoping the mk3 upgrade is coming 1

Considering you paid US dollar at twice the Aussie dollar, they’re going to sound twice as good then lol I’ve done it once or twice 1 1
DonGreen Posted September 30, 2024 Posted September 30, 2024 (edited) Just been shopping in a great record store I found in Monastiraki in Athens, just got to get them all home to Adelaide in my carry-on now. Bit of an eclectic mix I know. Edited September 30, 2024 by DonGreen Spelling 7

Royal Scam and Katie Lied are supposedly delayed until next year due to conflict from Universal.
stevoz Posted October 1, 2024 Author Posted October 1, 2024 Just now via Discogs, Thomas Dolby "Aliens Ate My Buick" NM Oz 1st pressing, DMM by Australia's Allan Parsons. Should sound great. 2

mloutfie Posted October 2, 2024 Posted October 2, 2024 For some record flattening action. Not much more expensive compared to vinyl flat with groovy pouch but with some proper temperature controller (with app control) 6
andyr Posted October 2, 2024 Posted October 2, 2024 I don't use the app - I simply switch it on for 14hrs (at the default 125F) ... and then cool down for 10. Has worked well, so far! 1
mloutfie Posted October 2, 2024 Posted October 2, 2024 (edited) 14 minutes ago, andyr said: 14hrs That seems excessive? Isn't advice is 2-4hrs? Edited October 2, 2024 by mloutfie
andyr Posted October 2, 2024 Posted October 2, 2024 Yes, the instructions say "a few hours" ... but then you might have to repeat the process. So I decided an OTT heating & cooling cycle would remove the need for any repeats. 14/10 is simply a convenient cycle; put it on at night, switch it off in the morning. The results are perfect! 3
