+1 mofimadness! I started with LAST back when the dealer I worked for started offering it in 1982. Never looked back. Unmatched for their preservative and I've had excellent success with the cleaners. That's what I call happy listening!
LAST record preservative improves the sound
Seriously. I just applied it to 50 LPs of various quality recordings and genres and in every case there was a subtle but noticable improvement in clarity, especially in upper mid-frequencies and a little less in high frequences, but also some improvement in pace and dynamics. The records were very clean before the application, I did not clean them again prior to applying the LAST. Mostly original Japanese vinyl from seventies but not only, vinyl condition varies from NM to VG. I am impressed. This confirms what a man from the Needle Doctor said when I asked him.

Norman, I like Needle Doctor. The price is $50 for a bottle that will be enough to treat about 60-70 records, Also, Walter Davis, the LAST man behind it is very friendly and knoweledgeable. You can buy this stuff directly from the LAST. He also makes two solutions to preserve tape heads and tapes and swears by them. You might be interested in this too. |
Norman....A-T, (I am assuming you mean Audio Technica?) doesn’t/didn’t ever make this. The LAST FACTORY does. http://thelastfactory.com/ The LAST preservative will evaporate quite quickly if you don’t cap it tightly. I wonder if yours is still good. Maybe send Walter Davies an email and ask. I would be interested in knowing also. thelastfactory@gmail.com |
inna & mofimadness, I read your post and went to grab the bottle. Ha! It's not LAST, it's LIFESAVER by Audio Texhnica! I feel silly. Anyway I apparently have no experience with LAST, just Soundguard by Ball and LIFESAVER by Audio Technica. Still, had good luck with both. Now I will order a bottle of LAST. Certainly worth a try, and I am very interestes in something that would reduce head wear on decks. Thanks guys! Norman |
