I went to a live concert over the weekend and bought an LP after the performance. The band also had CDs but decided to go with the (more expensive) analog route ($25) to help the band.
Before playing it tonight, I noticed a fair amount of dust on the record. So opted to clean it with my RCM.
The record looked clean afterwards, but When I started playing it I noticed a lot of noise in the grooves. It was worse than albums that I have been playing for years. Tried to clean it again and my RCM stopped working. (Will have to deal with that another time).
Not willing to listen to a noisy record, I looked up and found the album on Tidal. The streamed version sounds great; better than the LP. I should have bought the CD instead of the LP, but again, I was trying to help the band. Oh well.
