Here is the deal. I am giving you both a golden opportunity to turn 4 ,very rare,kick ass Pink Floyd pulse lp's ( $350-$500 for the set) into kickass digital that is better that the CD version that the entire forum could benefit from.

DO YOU TWO TAKE THE CHALLENGE!!!    BTW, you f up the albums... you die!

I think that bj and I are in complete agreement that we are NOT dropping Pulse.

Alright then, so let me get this straight.

1) Tom picks record.

I think these rules are fair.  The only one that I find negotiable is number 5.  Thrifty, if you want us to just use our own equipment, I'm ok with that too.  Let me know.

Record.   Singular.   One.   No pleural.

Seriously, declicking eight live sides is about thirty hours work.   I'm not trying to be a jerk, it's just too much work for a gentleman's wager.

Ok, Tom's out... I picked up blacks and blues by bobbi humphrey recently, and it's not exactly in mint condition. Should be a good challenge if you want to take it on.

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Tom, I've given this some thought and if it is important to you to get a good drop of Pulse I will give you one.   I will do it as a favor to a friend.   But I will do it after this contest.   To show our work, one very necessary element is moments of silence.   Those don't occur in live albums.

Pick another album for the contest.   A single album of studio material.   I will give you your drop of Pulse.

after some debating with OCCD, he has convinced me that we should do Pulse.  In the end, it's beneficial because we'll all have a high-res digital copy of one of the coolest albums floyd ever put out, and it will shut OCCD's mouth.  so yeah.  i guess i'll do pulse...

Guys - I am very interested in the Pulse needle drop.  If you ever do it, count me in for a FREE copy.   >:D
