hey Allan,

Yeah, when it gets to be 55 degrees for the first time it always feel like summer. People are parading around in tanktosp and shorts...

On the new vinyl front, I went to the store and bought the new Phish album. I was also talking to my friend who set up my turntable about new records. He says that the factory puts something on the record called mold-prevent (or something to that effect). He says that it can create that hissing s-sound and that it will diminish after a few listens. His advice was to clean a new disc before listening to it the first time. I then took this advice to the local record shop with the cleaning machine. The owner of the shop says he has never hear of this factory coating, but that in the first few plays your needle will actually be cleaning out the grooves of loose vinyl that is laying around. He says that if you were going to record a new album onto tape or something, that you would want to play it through once to get rid of that extra vinyl in the grooves.

I would be curious to hear if these sounds you experienced diminished after a few listens. My Phish album seems to have quieted down over the first 3 plays. If anyone has any info about the mold-prevent, or washing new disks before playing, chime-in.

Today seems as dark and wet as always.. Good day to listen to some vinyl!
