first step of the build, I sourced some flexible Zebrano veneer
currently trying to make a decision to either start a project using two CPU's on a server Mb versus a 16 core CPU on a high spec gaming Mb...
so two Intel Xeons on the Asus Sage platform, versus AMD R9 5750x on an Asus ROG VIII Extreme....thoughts?
That is not a serious issue, I'm running a passively cooled 12 core CPU on max speed 24/7 and so can the extreme, using heatpipes and a seriously large heatsink (300W)Actually the most remarkable thing about their setup is that it looks like a completely fanless design. Which I guess makes absolute sense for audiophiles...but it does mean that the CPUs can't stretch their legs in any way shape or form when passive cooling is all they have.
There are also several people on YouTube that seem to know what they are talking about. All of my vinyl that I purchased new back in the 70’s I played once and put into special sleeves. These were all only played once because I recorded them onto cassette and then put them away. Someday I’ll get my original Marantz turntable running properly again and play these records again on my current equipment. Let me know what you think of the cleaning process once you’ve given it a go. I do have many other records that I’ve picked up used along the way and who knows what they’re like.while listening to music I'm reading up on Vinyl, as all my records are at least 60 years old cleaning will be an issue to take care of. I plan to clean all records prior to playing them.
I found an IMO pretty solid book on LP cleaning by an ex-Navy tech buff;
Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records-3rd Edition - The Vinyl Press
Marcel,Will do, so far the amount of solvents and gadgets required is dazzling me ;-)
Looks like I'm embarking on yet another science lab....
