That was an awesome session! Glad you posted this video. Thumbs up to ya!
Whew đđ˝ââď¸ you almost blew it đ˘ congratulations đžđđđ
So fun to watch those large bets! Congrats - great hit!
Iâm confused at why you always say âthanks for watchingâ, stop the video then restart with the same machine & same credits! Whatâs the point?
Your turning into a jack ass that covers his jackpots? Lol wow. And your voice sounds like you make movies for Disney.
ill never understand the way people play these machines, why take any offer if there is always a chance you can win more. I always go to the final offer if I didn't get the jackpot
Always change your credits to cash symbol. Then you'll know your cash value.
I always wonder how folks figue out how to play these games with no instructions. All I can figure out is put money in, pull lever and wait for.....something to happen? The bars and symbols don't make much sense. Maybe this is why I hate Vegas and never go? Watched the whole video and have no idea how much you won.
Not sure I would have turned down the $1,000 :) Worked out though.
Awesome! I didnt know you played at Foxwoods. I Go there alot!
So you preferred to take the shitty hand pay jackpot to pay taxes opposed to just take $1000, when could easily make up for the $200-300. I don't even know why people gamble in the states, what a horrid hassle to pay taxes on every hand pay, especially if you're an avid gambler that plays high stakes. A hand pay should be $5,000+ not 1200.
your voice sounds like someone i know from there that hit 100k years ago at fox tower
Š Provided by What Hi-Fi? Record Doctor VIVinyl is a source with a difference â the software requires care. Cleaning is essential even with new discs, and if youâre out gathering bargains at secondhand record fairs, then a good cleaning system can transform a $2 purchase from a crackly listen into something more soothing. The Record Doctor VI is one such system which aims to reduce signal noise in your system by physically removing dirt from your vinyl.
Record cleaners range from cheap-and-cheerful simple wiping solutions to ultrasonics and wildly expensive transcription systems of deep cleansing; weâve covered many approaches in past issues.
The âRecord Doctorâ inhabits a helpful zone where the price is not frightening at $299 (AU$485, with UK pricing and availability yet to be announced), yet the product is highly regarded and long established, as evinced by this latest âVIâ version being also the companyâs 20th anniversary edition.
The Record Doctor cleans records using a suction tube surrounded by felt cleaning strips. You put the record onto a spindle to one side of the tube, and pop a large manual turning knob over the label of the record.
Then you dribble the supplied cleaning solution across the width of the vinyl, and hold a wide fluid-application brush to the surface as you rotate the disc once (or more) until the whole disc becomes coated with the fluid.
Next, flip the disc so the wet side is downwards and replace the turning knob, switch on the suction pump, and rotate the disc until the vacuum has sucked the underside dry. Repeat for the other side, and your LP is clean and ready to play or store.
Such has been the way of the Record Doctor since it was introduced 20 years ago. The latest version has various upgrades and updates, which include a larger turning knob which now fully covers the record label, also a new deeper-cleaning spreading brush for the fluid stage, and a better overall finish including a stain-resistant aluminium top (presumably previous versions were becoming marked by fluid dripping from over-lubricated undersides). A black dust cover, similar to an inverted reusable shopping bag, is another useful addition for the VI edition.
Itâs ironic that a product designed ultimately to reduce noise levels should increase them so significantly during its operation. One of the upgrades advertised for the âVIâ version is that it runs âcooler and quieterâ than its predecessors â but the suction system nevertheless makes quite the hum.
With a simple bathe-and-wipe cleaning system you might spend a Sunday afternoon cleaning vinyl in the family room. Doing so with the RD-VI would be more akin to operating a hairdryer while the missus is trying to watch telly. Neither can you listen uninterrupted to cleaned LPs while cleaning others, given the regular bursts of suction motor noise.
So the cleaning task can perhaps instead be considered foreplay to your listening enjoyment. It wasnât so loud that it persuaded us to wear headphones while operating it, though for long cleaning sessions you might consider it, as might anyone else around.
Noisiness aside, itâs great fun to operate the Record Doctor. Itâs too low to have on the floor without back-bending, and too high to have on a table without the need to reach above it; it was ideal on a calf-high stool, operated from a knee-high stool.
It took only a couple of records to master the amount of fluid required to fully coat the disc â the fluid bottle has a pull-down nozzle which helps eject only a drip or two at a time. Spreading becomes a combination of turning the record and moving the supplied brush (bottom left image).
Indeed the spreading brush would seem to be the main thing to get saturated and potentially dirty in the Record Doctor system, running damply around the unclean records as it does, so picking up their superficial accumulation of dirt while the liquid and suction does the deeper clean.
We introduced two additional stages to the process, giving each disc an initial dry wipe with a non-shedding cloth to clear any excessive dust before placing it on the Record Doctor, and also giving the spreading brush a cleansing swipe each time prior to application, to ensure we werenât transferring any dirt collected from the previous disc.
After flipping the disc and replacing the hand knob, you get to turn on that noisy motor and manually turn the record around quite slowly. You canât, of course, see how well itâs sucking and whether itâs yet dry underneath; the instructions suggest two or three rotations, something like 15 to 20 seconds.
One advantage of this system is that records are immediately dry and ready to return to their sleeves or, indeed, to play, subject to interruption by the next bout of suction noise.
With dunk-and-wipe cleaning systems youâre never entirely sure things are fully dry, especially with cloths getting increasingly damp as you progress through a batch. With some systems you actually have to leave records out to dry, like plates in a drying rack. Here every disc gets the same treatment, and they all emerge dry and ready for use or storage.
Depending on the level of fluid application, the supplied 125ml bottle of RxLP cleaning fluid is expected to clean 25 to 50 LPs, but itâs reassuring to see that youâre not heavily gouged for ongoing fluid purchases, since you can get a large bottle of concentrate for $30 / AU$45 which will dilute to make another 3.8 litres of fluid, enough for around 1000 more LPs.
We saved some reference discs until weâd mastered the process and become fully accustomed to the RD-IVâs ways. And by âreferenceâ, we do not mean the finest pressings in our collection but rather a range selected as suitable candidates for âbefore and afterâ comparisons.
These comparisons were made not only by listening, to see if pops, surface noise and any other audible distortions were reduced, but also by digitising the playback before and after cleaning so we could examine the sound visually, albeit at second (and digitised) hand â in the waveforms reproduced opposite the originals are shown in red, the cleaned versions in green.
We chose two LP acquisitions from the last local pre-Covid record fair: one an LP of Simon & Garfunkelâs The Concert in Central Park which was in poor condition with significant splotches visible when angled to the light, the other a copy of Fleetwood Macâs Rumours, apparently in reasonable condition.
We also pulled out one of our most played pieces of vinyl, Keith Jarrettâs Changes, on which the first sideâs Flying pt1 has good minimal areas in which changes in surface noise might be more easily assessed than over, say, thrash metal.
Our fourth test disc was a near-pristine white label pressing of Miles Davisâ Kind of Blue from Absolute Analogue (which is not one of the highest regarded pressings of this album, sadly).
As expected, there was little difference to be discerned with this last disc in terms of surface noise, this having been kept pristine and already regularly cleaned before play. The waveforms, however, showed that even here persistent clicks could be reduced, with some indication that surface noise was also reduced (the sample shown in the top waveform pair opposite is part of the gap on side one between Freddie Freeloader and Blue In Green).
There were improvements on the Jarrett LP, too, though not sufficient to wash the sound entirely clean. Audibly it was the Fleetwood Mac disc which had the greatest removal of vinyl noise, rescuing this $2 acquisition to earn a place in the record racks instead of ending up a probable reject ready for the eager hands of the next local street clean-up.
The marks on the Simon & Garfunkel disc were too stubborn to be entirely removed even after a second more intense clean. The effect on sound was nevertheless substantial â unlistenably dirty before, the disc was still noisy afterwards but to an extent where we could easily enough listen through the noise and now enjoy the album. The comparison waveforms are from the opening fade up of the crowd, and show a significant removal of the transient cracks where dirt has been displaced.
When we mentioned to Decibel Hi-Fi (the distributor) that we were looking forward to cleaning some of our singles collection, they said they would include the required adaptor for these, admitting âitâs just a bit of hoseâ. And it is indeed just a bit of hose, split down the side to open it up.
After a bit of thought, and a seven-inch disc in place for guidance, this seemed designed to cover the bit of the vacuum outlet slot which remains uncovered by the smaller disc, thereby maintaining maximum suction pressure on the underside of the 45. It was precision cut for this purpose!
And worked well. We cleaned up some David Bowie singles, including a promo copy of his debut for Deram Records Rubber Band in 1966 (the label marked with a pencil âĂâ indicating that a BBC producer had rejected it for airplay), and also an appropriate choice for an audio magazine, Bowieâs Sound And Vision single from RCA in 1977.
Both gained (or rather lost) audibly through reduction of clicks thanks to the Record Doctor (see waveforms), especially in the lead-in of the surprisingly loud Deram single.
Records must be cleaned! The latest Record Doctor VI proved an effective and enjoyable way of doing so, more than commensurate with its price compared with cheaper wash-and-wipe systems.
It canât resurrect deeply abused vinyl, but it can significantly improve many discs which might otherwise be unlistenably noisy, and will most certainly maintain the more treasured discs of a collection in the condition they deserve.
