Media:
Original LP 1st pressing, Polydor, PD 5051, Matrix A:, Matrix B: N/A
Equipment:
* Vpi HW-17F Record Cleaning Machine
* Heybrook TT2 with Origin Live! power supply and DC motor
* Rega RB 300 tonearm (Origin Live! mod)
* Lyra Helikon M/C Cartridge
* Denon PMA 8500 (M/C phono section)
* ESI Systems Juli@ A/D
* Adobe Audition 1.5
Method:
- Record cleaned on Vpi machine.
- Audio sampled at 96/32 float.
- Filter to roll-off frequencies below 20 HZ (only below audible frequencies).
Audio restoration:
- 'Younglove' decrackling scripted method throughout (catches very low level crackle only).
- Manual declick and deglitch - my method is to scan through the audio with ears and eyes, looking for anomalies and try to only declick when I know it's the right thing to do.
- All whole sides normalized to 100% NEVER using compression or limiting.
Synopsis:
For something so laid back as this it comes as a surprise to realize that it's got such a big dynamic range... quite an instructive example really. The sound is pretty good, and it is in all other respects a decent US made Polydor pressing.
