Description
Here for your consideration is a beautiful - and beautiful-sounding - copy of the Sheffield Lab 4 direct to disc recording of Lincoln Mayorga, pianist, performing works by Johannes Brahms, the Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel, Op. 24; George Frederick Handel, Air with Variations (from the Suite in B flat major); and Frederic Chopin, Mazurka in A minor, Op. 17, No. 4. The album was produced by Doug Sax and engineered by Bud Wyatt and Doug Sax. The vinyl, jacket and insert are all Near Mint, showing little if any signs of use.
The vinyl surfaces have been cleaned in a multi-step process designed to assure the best possible sound.
This LP began with nice, shiny vinyl. This was enhanced by cleaning on a VPI 16.5 record cleaning machine, rinsing with distilled water, a second vacuuming and then deep-cleaning on an ultrasonic record cleaning system to reduce the amount of groove noise to extremely low levels.
Cleaning a record on a vacuum record cleaning machine such as the VPI 16.5 will remove airborne debris, dirt, fingerprint residue and other environmental contaminants the LP surfaces have accumulated over the years since it was manufactured. You can hear an immediate improvement.
The ultrasonic cleaning goes even further, removing oils, microscopic bits of dirt and even pressing lubricants from the disc mastering process that may be trapped deep within the grooves. This is the sort of debris and junk that other record cleaning systems often fail to remove. Following the ultrasonic cleaning, the LP surfaces will be quieter, perhaps quieter than most other records in your collection.
Ultrasonic cleaning of a vinyl record, especially a near mint copy such as this, removes a lot of grunge and debris from deep in the record grooves, often resulting in cleaner sound, less distortion, greater dynamic range, blacker backgrounds between notes, quieter vinyl surfaces and a lower noise floor. With proper care (maybe an occasional light dusting with an Audioquest record brush) and really excellent playback gear, you will often hear musical details you never noticed before.
This record will ship in a new record mailer, protected by an antistatic record sleeve, a protective outer sleeve, and, where appropriate, cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrap. This item ships only to addresses in the U.S. Thank you for viewing this listing, and good luck bidding!
