If you don't know Hans Theessink, you are missing

If you don't know Hans Theessink, you are missing out. He is a Dutch guitarist, mandolinist, singer and songwriter. He performs roots and blues music, particularly Delta blues style, often with Terry Evans. I first heard him on the Burmester CD Sampler 2, with the song "Call Me". His signature bass-bartone voice really sounds good through the upper bass to midrange on any speaker system, and the overall experience of his music really pulls you in. This mornings first cd is his "Jedermann Remixed (The Soundtrack). Do yourself a favor and at least check him out at your favorite streaming venue to see if you are ready to add to your music collection. @hanstheessink #deltablues #rootsmusic #rootsmusician #guitarist #mandolinist #songwriter #hanstheesink #terryevans #deltatime #visions #cd #vinyl #bluesalbum

Platter mat of choice around here is the Herbie's

Platter mat of choice around here is the Herbie's Audio Lab Way Excellent II that comes in a variety of thicknesses, diameters and spindle size. Stock is limited at the moment, so if you don't see what you want, contact Robert. What I like about these is that the material couples the LP to the platter. The benefit of this is two-fold. First, the disc will spin at the same speed as your platter. You want this. If your mat isn't "holding" the disc in place, you could be losing grip on a micro level, which will impact sound. Second, this is like memory foam that conforms to the record surface. Why is this important? Records are not perfectly flat, and the label area needs support to keep the disc flat ... and if you put a record clamp over the label, you need to make sure your mat doesn't cause the outer edges of the record to lift up a little.

I have used felt, cork, and cork/rubber for years, and every time I change, I hear some kind of difference. But there are some mats that sound "better" at first, simply because the sound is "different". The question is do you still like the sound a week later. Let's be honest in that we all hear a little different. And if you have tinitus, that impacts what you hear to some degree.

This is my opinion, based on my experience, and my ears. Your mileage may vary. Is this the best mat you can buy? Maybe not, depending on your set of variables. I just wanted to throw this out in the IG universe. And no, I don't make money off "promoting" other companies and products. I do this because I like audio.

I am now partnering with Rega as a parts dealer, w

I am now partnering with Rega as a parts dealer, which is born out of my using Rega tonearms on my custom AR XA tables. I may love "vintage", but I like modern gear as well, and I know having a blend of both, in the right places, results in a satisfying musical experience, visually and sonically. I am in the ramping up mode, so if you are interested in Rega products, let's work together to make it happen for you.

Dr. Feickert’s Analog Protractor NG is a great tool. Use you phone as part of your tool kit. You would be surprised to find that it many times will show you’ve off the mark.

Oh, the joy of finally dialing in a cartridge with the help of Dr. Feickert’s Analog Protractor NG, the HiFi News Analog Test LP, and the @cardas_audio Frequency Sweep and Burn In record … and some experience helps. Turntable is my custom High Desert Lenco with stacked platters, and a variety of custom parts … along with a Audio Origami Rega arm with Dynavector 10x5 retipped by @groovetickler with a nude Ogura Vital PE stylus, and @michellaudio TecnoWeight.

Ever see a record that says “We do not recommend

Ever see a record that says “We do not recommend that you buy these records unless your equipment is of the first rank.” These Audio Fidelity Stereodisc’s from 1959 were on the leading edge of the vinyl revolution. They even suggested what kind of tonearm and cartridge you should use. #audiofidelityrecords #audiofidelity #stereodisc #vinyltech #turntablism #vintagevinyl #vintagevinylrecords

Sometimes it is necessary to modify ground plug co

Sometimes it is necessary to modify ground plug connectors. In the case of this AR XA “Hot Rod” build, we are using a Cardas Audio ground post that needs a 0.25” fork spade. I took some ring connectors, and removed what I needed to create forks, then sanded and polished down. As you can see, the connector is flush with the plug base. Details like this are subtle, but important. @cardas_audio #arxa #arturntable #vinyl #audiomodification #audioupgrade #rega #regatonearm

Wow! Jazz at the Pawnshop on UltraHD 32-Bit Mastering Limited Edition, FIM UHD 071 LE from Lim. This has all three volumes plus dvd, that I haven’t watched yet. This may be one of the best CDs I have outside of the Blue Note collection on Audio Wave XRCD24. This is a good reason to own a quality CD player with 24 bit. You still might be able to find these over @elusivediscinc #jazz #marantzcd6006 #digitalrecording
