Need A conversion done ;)

[The_Nephilim]

Hi, I have a Quad LP of "Heavy Organ at Carnegie Hall by Virgil Fox" I need a Conversion done. IT is a Quadradisc RCA ARD1-0081 RED SEAL ??

The LP Appears to be in Good shape I have NOT listened to it DONT have a Record Player or any Old Quad equipment..

I have recently been introduced to Pipe Organ music and can't get Enough.. I had been sitting on this LP for a few years and Need to get this Done..

But First I want to know what it will cost me up front. PLEASE dont ask what is it worth I would just like an upfront cost. I dont need anything spectacular done to it but I would like it to sound like it was Professionaly done as much as possible. Most conversions I have heard sound fine to me..

Now I would like to know will the BASS be a GOOD reproduction or would it sound Crappy.. I am a BASS HEad and this is important for the BASS to be there..


THNX

I've done three different transfers of this LP so far - each one plagued by some sort of weirdness...

The RCA vinyl is probably some of the worst I have ever heard. There is a low level "thoop" through much of the quiet stuff almost like there is a dip in the record though none is visible. Then there is the distortion in the very loud parts as if this thing has been played about a million times. It's not the setup of my demod either because I tested several other LPs with no problem. Going to try again over the weekend to see what I can come up with. I can take care of pops and a bit of crackle but distortion is a whole other thing. I even cleaned it twice with Lou Dorren's special sauce - it's nice and shiny now!! I will keep you posted. I have not given up!!

I just read this, looked, and found my copy of this album. It is in mint shape though I have not played it since i got it. But I don't recall any defects in it. I will play it this weekend in cd4 and report back how it sounds if any of you are interested.
PS I recall there was a volume 2 Heavy organ released in quad too.

 

[The_Nephilim]

Well IF it sounds good I would be interested are you going to lend it to me or Sell??

Thanks I appreciate the Offer!!

I played my copy, its pretty clean sounding and quiet, I didn't notice any overt humming. With an application of Lous cleaner it should be a little quieter. But then I may not have very discriminating ears and my cd4 setup is not optimally adjusted.
I'm willing to lend this to Mr Romano for the purposes of making a conversion if he thinks this may be a better prospect.

 

[Bob Romano]

That would be great! It's possible that yours is in better shape and I can do it from there or if nothing else I can try to piece together a good take from both copies...

I have some SACDs that I would love to get converted to DVD-A, to play MC in car. I would gladly send the discs with prepaid post, etc. Though I am not sure this is technically possible.

@ Bender well I knoiw they can convert SACD to DTS Probally not much more of a stretch to transfer to DVD-A??

@ Bob How goes the conversion, Did you get the other Album from jefe1?? No Rush just curious to how it goes. and I am NOT sure how long a conversion takes but it is probally time consuming??
